‘Not the right man for the job': What was behind Irish PM's shock resignation?

Prime Minister Leo Varadkar surprised Ireland with his announcement that he would step down from his position. The 45-year-old, who became the youngest prime minister in Irish history in 2017, cited personal and political reasons for his decision. Varadkar had been praised for his handling of international affairs, including his support for the people of Gaza and challenging the US over its support for Israel. The timing of his resignation, just months before local and European elections, has raised questions. He is expected to be succeeded by Higher Education Minister Simon Harris.
