Ireland pushes forward with law to ban imports from settlements in Judea and Samaria

However, according to Byrne, the law will only apply to goods produced in the settlements. In addition, the law will definitely not be activated in 2026.

“This is an extremely limited measure that will prohibit the import of goods from illegally occupied territories,” he said in an interview. “Similar measures have already been introduced in a number of European countries.”

Byrne declined to say when the bill would be sent to parliament as the government was still weighing its implications. According to him, this bill will definitely not come into force next year (2026).

Limiting the bill to goods only would cover only a few products imported from Judea and Samaria, such as fruit, worth 200,000 euros ($234,660) a year.
