Some Israeli government figures to be banned from Ireland, Irish premier says
Ireland will ban travel for Israeli ministers linked to Gaza conflict amid stalled EU action and plans to restrict imports from occupied territories, Irish officials said.
- On Friday at the United Nations General Assembly, Taoiseach Micheal Martin announced Ireland will bar certain Israeli ministers from entering and legislate against imports from the Occupied Territories.
- Because of what it described as breaches of international law, Ireland cited Israel's actions and Gaza's suffering as grounds to prevent further harm.
- Following regional precedents, the government cited travel bans on Itamar Ben-Gvir, leader of Otzma Yehudit, and Bezalel Smotrich, leader of the Religious Zionist Party, with Slovenia and the European Commission acting similarly.
- The diplomatic consequences include European Union leaders meeting in Copenhagen next week to discuss suspending the EU-Israel trade deal as Australia, Britain, Canada, and France recognise Palestinian statehood and the ICC issues a warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu.
- As the humanitarian toll mounts, reporting shows the conflict has killed more than 65,000 Palestinians and stems from Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack that killed 1,200 people, causing famine in Gaza.
