The US Embassy in Dublin has responded after the Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (Prohibition of Importation of Goods) Bill was signed into law in Ireland on Thursday, July 23.
“The Israeli Settlements Bill risks real unintended consequences, particularly for nearly 1,000 U.S. companies and the hundreds of thousands of Irish jobs tied to them,” the US Embassy in Ireland said on Friday.
"If the goal is to make a meaningful difference for Palestinians, the focus should be on coordinated international efforts that deliver real impact, not symbolic measures that harm Ireland’s economy and will not advance peace.
“We urge Ireland to avoid pushing similarly unhelpful initiatives at the EU-level.”
Where’s Microsoft going to move their EU tax entity to then?
Malta, probably.
Go Ireland!
They’re bitching about it already so Ireland must be on to something good
MAGA loves threatening Canada, Greenland and Iceland.
Looks like they’re starting to step out of their comfort zone here
“We urge Ireland to avoid pushing similarly unhelpful initiatives at the EU-level.”
Oh wow, they’re actually being transparent with what they’re scared of.
Looking forward for Ireland and Norway to push for EU-level sanctions against Israel
Norway isn’t in the EU
Valid. They’re just the next most progressive European country for sanctions against banks doing business with settlements that I know of
“the focus should be coordinated international efforts that deliver real impact”
lol, lamao even.
you mean efforts like stopping sales from israel?
We really gotta start putting embassadors into timeout for shitty comments.
“7 day suspension of entry permit. Go home.”
