Likewise, the other amendments in this group relate to reinserting a ban on trade and services into this legislation, as was proposed in Senator Black's occupied territories Bill, and introducing a ban on the advertising of services originating in the occupied territories. I also fully accept that trade with the Israeli West Bank settlements is illegal under customary international law, including trade in both goods and services.
International law requires a full ban on all trade with the illegal Israeli settlements, both goods and services, full stop and no ifs or buts. In July 2024, the International Court of Justice held that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land is illegal and the settlements built on that occupied land are illegal and therefore all countries, including Ireland, are obliged at a minimum not to trade with the settlements.
