Ireland advances bill banning trade with companies in occupied Palestinian territories, seeking legal clarity.
Ireland is working to include services in its Occupied Territories Bill, which bans trade with companies in illegally occupied Palestinian territories, but awaits legal advice to ensure the law is enforceable and legally sound.
Despite earlier doubts from Taoiseach Micheál Martin, the government remains committed to passing robust legislation, with Minister of State Neale Richmond stressing the need for legal certainty.
The bill, originally proposed in 2018, gained momentum after a 2024 International Court of Justice development.
The government aims to create a law that is both effective and defensible, with support from allies like Slovenia and Spain, who may follow Ireland’s lead.
