Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Patricia Stephenson (Social Democrats)

My next question is for Mr. Shatter. He has spoken before about the Bill being antisemitic and likened it to something from Nazi Germany. Just yesterday, we received a letter from a number of high-profile Israelis who strongly support the Bill, among them a former Israeli attorney general, supreme court judges, recipients of Israel’s highest national prize, speakers of the Knesset and former Israeli ambassadors. Is Mr. Shatter really going to claim the policy supported by these Jewish Israelis is antisemitic?
