Ireland's president-elect is a left-wing, anti-establishment figure who is outspoken on Gaza

Ireland's president for the next seven years is an independent lawmaker who has long spoken in support of Palestinians and has been vocal about her distrust of European Union policies. Left-wing independent Catherine Connolly, 68, secured 63% of votes in a landslide election victory on Saturday, comfortably defeating her center-right rival, former Cabinet minister Heather Humphreys. The politician won after Ireland's left-leaning opposition parties, including Sinn Fein, united to back her, and she is expected to be a voice unafraid to challenge Ireland's center-right government.
