Seanad vote on trade ban with illegal Israeli settlements to be held tomorrow

Four of Ireland’s leading development and human rights organisations have called for Ireland to make history this week by becoming the first country to vote for a trade ban with illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Seanad Éireann will vote on the Occupied Territories (Settlement Goods) Bill tomorrow. This bill, introduced by Independent Senator Frances Black, would prohibit trade between Ireland and the illegal settlements.
