For US companies located in Ireland, especially, “there's no doubt this bill will create major difficulties”
(July 16, 2025 / JNS) Following condemnations by U.S. officials of proposed Irish legislation that would boycott Israeli products from Judea and Samaria, former Irish Justice Minister Alan Shatter warned on Wednesday that a ban would neither be “well received” nor go “unnoticed” in Washington, D.C.
The remarks were made following a discussion on Tuesday in the Irish Parliament’s joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade on the “Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025,” which is being readied for a plenum vote.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Senator Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and others have previously rebuked the bill.
