Israel, which has accused Dublin of promoting antisemitism, has condemned the bill of as discriminatory.
The Irish government on Wednesday reiterated its intention to boycott Israeli goods from Judea and Samaria, publishing a draft bill it said will be voted on in parliament.
The legislation states: “The importation of goods originating in an Israeli settlement is prohibited,” clarifying that “Israeli settlement” means “a city, village or industrial zone located in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem.
“The prohibition created by the bill will also then engage the customs powers under that act, including those relating to search, seizure and forfeiture,” Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in a statement on Wednesday.
