Ireland's parliament has passed legislation banning the import of goods produced in Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem.
The measure, approved on Tuesday, represents one of the most far-reaching trade restrictions against Israel enacted by any European nation to date.
The ban targets products originating from areas considered illegal under international law by the European Union and much of the international community.
By formalizing this prohibition, Dublin is escalating its diplomatic and economic pressure on Israel, moving beyond symbolic resolutions to concrete trade barriers.
This development adds another layer of complexity to Israel's relations with Western allies.
While the EU has long called for labeling of goods from settlements, Ireland is now taking the step of an outright import ban.
