The government shamefully votes against including services in a ban on trade with the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. They have gutted the Occupied Territories Bill to please Trump and US corporations. We need complete sanctions on Israel. https://t.co/K2sLCcjUNB #SanctionsOnIsrael #OccupiedTerritories #EndIsraeliSettlements #IL #PS #US
Outside the Dáil today with Frances Black demanding that the government include services as part of the Occupied Territories Bill.

The Taoiseach’s decision to exclude services from the Occupied Territories Bill is unacceptable. Nearly 70% of Ireland’s trade with the occupied territories is in services. So Micheál Martin seeks to weaken the intent of the Bill. We won’t stand for it. Israel must be sanctioned. https://t.co/QWnsg3Q81N #OccupiedTerritories #Ireland #SanctionsAgainstIsrael #IE #IL #PS
