Ireland aims to pass legislation by mid-July banning trade in goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank, with Foreign Minister Helen McEntee citing continued settler violence and Israeli government actions as justification. The bill has faced opposition from U.S. lawmakers, business groups, and Israel, and will be limited to goods rather than services, affecting minimal trade worth approximately 200,000 euros annually.
