Irish Taoiseach Simon Harris announced that his government will receive formal legal advice regarding the revival of the Occupied Territories Bill, which aims to prohibit trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The bill, initially proposed in 2018, has faced delays due to concerns over EU trade law. However, a recent advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice may provide the necessary legal grounds to proceed. Harris expressed a commitment to act regardless of EU positions, and there are discussions about potential trade restrictions with Israel.
