Ireland Moves to Ban Trade with Israeli Businesses in Occupied Palestinian Territories
- Ireland's government approved drafting a bill in May 2025 to ban trade with Israeli businesses in occupied Palestinian territories.
- The decision followed a UN advisory opinion deeming Israeli settlements illegal and builds on Ireland’s recognition of a Palestinian state in 2024.
- The legislation targets goods from settlements but excludes services due to weaker legal grounds under EU law, with parliamentary scrutiny expected in June 2025.
- Deputy Prime Minister Simon Harris said the bill aims to create impactful law and called on other countries to follow, emphasizing urgent pressure for a ceasefire in Gaza.
- The ban symbolizes Ireland’s stance amid growing EU and UK reviews of Israel policies, reflecting international concerns over human rights and a worsened humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
