Settlements Bill Leaves Loopholes

Settlements Bill Leaves Loopholes

Published 2 days, 14 hours ago
Description

A controversial bill banning imports from Israeli settlements is advancing — but critics are furious it excludes services and advertising, leaving gaping loopholes. Lawmakers clashed at the foreign affairs committee, with some accusing the government of playing it safe to avoid upsetting the U.S., while the foreign affairs minister admitted the bill may not fully comply with international law. An amendment to include services bans failed narrowly, 6 to 4, sparking outrage from opposition. Meanwhile, experts warn Israel could sidestep the goods ban by blending settlement produce with regular Israeli exports. The government’s hesitation? Fear of legal repercussions. The bill moves forward — but the fight over loopholes is just beginning.
