Trade suspension refers to halting the exchange of goods, services, and financial activities between countries. In this context, it would mean ending or reducing economic interactions with Israel as a response to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas. Proponents argue that suspending trade applies pressure on Israel to pursue peaceful resolutions and signals opposition to human rights abuses. Opponents argue that trade suspensions harm diplomatic relations, hurt economic interests on both sides, and may escalate tensions rather than promote peace.

There are more important issues in Ireland that the government should be focused on. Not a war that has nothing to do with us when we are a neutral country.

This war never needed to happen, all parties as as guilty as each other. This needs to stop and lives of children to be spared. Not suspend but demand peace
@MG---SwIndependent 1yr1Y
All parties are definitely NOT as guilty as each other. Israel is a colonialist, apartheid state which has been pursuing ethnic cleansing and land-stealing policies for decades and is now committing a genocide, quite openly and brazenly, in front of the whole world and believes it can commit crimes against humanity with impunity. Last night alone, they bombed and killed 3 babies under one from the same family. IDF soldiers brag about their war crimes openly on social media, mocking their victims. The right-wing Israeli government and its ally, the US government have openly threatened innocent… Read more

It is not my desire to unfairly penalise the innocent citizens that are living it what is now know as Isreal, formally known as Palestine.
However, the savagely disproportionate response from Isreal's governing body in their devastating attacks on Gaza cannot go unpunished.
It is up to our globaly community to strive towards peace and prosperity for all, therefore those commit unspeakable acts of violence must held accountable on a global level. So, yes, I do feel that until we have a permanent ceasefire and a conflict free resolution Ireland must suspend trade with Israel.
no, but we should lessen trade until the trouble has ended. We should stand for morality but not hurt our own economy in the process

No because a fair population of Israel is against the war so why should they suffer? & what is happening in Gaza, the reason it started is because Oct 7th 2023 3,000 Hamas leaders came from Gaza kidnapping 1,500 isrealis & killing brutally raping & burning 1,500 additional isrealis Hamas is not innocent, there is no winners in war.
we must retain & maintain the triple lock & because we're a neutral country so we don't take sides in a specific war or holds itself as permanently neutral in all future conflicts. This policy means it does not join military alliances and remains impartial, though the specifics can vary, with some engaging in peacekeeping or international development
