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

Ms Natasha Hausdorff:

Not at all, because this is not illegally held territory. The only reason that label is being applied is an objection to the existence of Jews living in this territory. The phrase "Judenrein", which Mr. Shatter has used, is entirely appropriate in that context. The motivation behind this Bill has to be understood. The politics concerning it cannot fundamentally override the applicable law.
