Netanyahu

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu strongly condemned an Irish legislative initiative calling for a boycott of products in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria. In a statement he stated that the objective of the proposed legislation is to support the BDS movement and those who seek to boycott and damage the State of Israel. The initiative, in addition to prohibiting the import or sale of such products, would also prohibit services from Judea and Samaria. The Irish Senate has decided that the debates on the bill will be officially updated by July, so as to have time to pursue a diplomatic approach and action at EU level, as well as give more time for improvements, amendments and changes to the bill.
