Irish Ambassador: Government Does Not Support Ban on West Bank Settlement Goods
(Irish Times) Mark Weiss - Irish Ambassador to Israel Alison Kelly told officials in Jerusalem on Wednesday that the Irish Government does not support an initiative to ban the sale of goods from West Bank settlements. The Irish Senate voted on Tuesday to indefinitely postpone a vote on a private member's bill to criminalize the sale of settlement products. Kelly said the government opposes the BDS (boycott, disinvestment, sanctions) campaign against Israel.
