I welcome the cross-party support and thank Senator Black for bringing this forward.

This Bill aims to uphold international law. That is it.

If I can, I will say the following. This Bill lays down a marker. The Irish people stand with the people of Palestine against the Israeli apartheid regime. The Irish people stand for the international rule of law. The Irish people, who have suffered in their own history from the theft of land, will not allow Israel to normalise its illegal occupation and settlement of the West Bank.
