Legislation to ban imports from Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory is due to come before Cabinet this morning to be approved by Government ministers.
Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris will present the proposed legislation, known officially as the Israeli Settlements Prohibition of Importation of Goods Bill
2025.
Senator Frances Black, who tabled the Occupied Territories Bill in 2018, said last month that the government’s decision to enact a ban on illegal Israeli settlements was “a really important and welcome step, but our work is not done yet”.
Senator Black spoke to us this morning on The Agenda about this.
