Pope Leo: Palestinian state 'only solution' to conflict, 'Israel still does not accept'
The Dublin city council is expected to withdraw a proposal to remove the name of a former Israeli president from a local city park, Raidió Teilifís Éireann reported.
According to Ireland's National Television and Radio Broadcaster, Dublin Mayor Ray McAdam said the motion to rename Herzog Park didn't contain enough information for an "informed decision," adding that, "there is not a procedure" in place to complete it.
McAdam reportedly added that the motion will be withdrawn due to legal "question marks," adding that he personally didn't think it was "appropriate or right to look to rename Herzog Park."
The contenders for a new name for the park included "Free Palestine Park," "Palestine Park" and "Gaza Park."
