Vídeo: O projeto de lei irlandês sobre os Territórios Ocupados no Médio Oriente pode ser reexaminado?

[Music] what is Ireland’s occupied territories Bill and why could it be revived [Music] now next week Ireland’s attorney general is expected to advise the government to reopen a 2018 bill that would ban trade between Ireland and Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories the bill has been stalled for years over concerns it breached e trade law but Dublin says that a July advisory opinion from the international court of justice provides legal grounds to reexamine the bill its impact would be economically minute affecting an estimated 1 million euros in trade annually but politically it would be unprecedented and would see Ireland pressing on without EU support the icj advisory opinion is a game changer in terms of the context because it now places an obligation h on countries to do all they can um to help end the unlawful illegal occupation I’d like to do that at an EU level but regardless of the EU position I’m not going to ignore the obligation that I believe now exists on Ireland to act now trade is a EU competence and in the European Union settlement goods are exempt from preferential tariffs and must be clearly labeled but are not banned both Ireland and Spain are pressing Brussels to restrict trade with Israel as a means of exerting diplomatic pressure on netanyahu’s government the EU is Israel’s biggest trade partner accounting for around 29% of trade in Goods sources tell us that Israel has agreed to hold a special Council to discuss the trade deal but on the condition that those discussions do not address the situation in Gaza [Music]
