Irish candidate Connolly urges stronger sanctions on Israeli settlements, blaming coalition partners for weakening the bill under U.S. pressure.
Irish presidential candidate Catherine Connolly has criticized the government for weakening a proposed law to sanction Israeli settlements, urging inclusion of both goods and services.
She accused coalition partners Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael of delaying the bill under pressure from U.S. businesses, calling any limitation a betrayal of Palestinian rights.
The legislation, originally introduced seven years ago by Senator Frances Black, aims to align Ireland’s actions with its criticism of Israel’s Gaza campaign.
Despite warnings from U.S. lawmakers about damaging relations, Connolly and Black emphasize the need for concrete measures.
The government has not commented, but sources indicate the bill is likely to be weakened ahead of the October 24 election.
