Ireland Poised to Limit Sanctions on Israel After Corporate Pressure

Ireland, a strong critic of Israel, is thinking about easing its planned sanctions against Israeli settlements.

Big companies in Ireland, especially those from the U.S., are worried these sanctions could hurt their investments.

The government is considering limiting the sanctions to only cover goods, like fruit, worth a small amount.

This change is happening because businesses fear it might upset the U.S. and Israel, potentially hurting Ireland's economy.

Some people disagree, believing it's wrong to profit from goods and services from occupied territories.

Ireland is also waiting for legal advice about whether it can include services in the sanctions.
