General Scheme of Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Ms Fatin Al Tamimi:
As I said before, all Palestinians are looking up to Ireland, waiting for this legislation, because it does help. It means Ireland knows what is happening in the occupied West Bank. My people, my family and my extended family live in Hebron, which is controlled by these illegal settlers who attack them, uproot their trees and go on night raids protected by the Israeli army. When this legislation goes through and becomes a law, that will stop these illegal settlers and illegal settlements being in their land and harassing and attacking them day and night.
