Ireland will introduce legislation to restrict trade with settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank within the coming weeks. The bill follows a year of drafting and political pressure to extend trade bans from goods to services. The move risks diplomatic friction with the United States and Israel while signaling a shift in European trade policy.
