flag Ireland to limit West Bank goods imports, citing law and EU alignment, not antisemitism.

flag Ireland plans limited trade restrictions on goods from Israeli West Bank settlements, excluding services, with Minister Thomas Byrne stating the measure is narrow, consistent with other European nations, and not antisemitic. flag The bill, not expected to pass in 2025, targets around €200,000 in annual imports like dried fruit and aligns with international law. flag While some lawmakers seek to expand it to services, the government has held back to avoid economic disruption. flag The move follows criticism of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the closure of Israel’s Dublin embassy, but Irish officials emphasize their strong support for the Jewish community and commitment to legal principles.
