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.

Lessen trade but I don’t know to what extent we trade with them. We should stand for morality but not hurt our own economy in the process
@B3BS5L22wks2W
NO Ireland should stop helping Hamas with aid ,till they give back the hostages to Isreal. Ireland should not be helping a terrorist organisation wage war on a democratic country.
@B2NL5D41mo1MO
No, but if there is undeniable evidence that the money that Israel make by trading with Ireland goes to funding weapons in the Israel-Hamas conflict then the Irish government should immediately suspend trade with Israel.
@B22DPSD3mos3MO
Yes, Ireland should cease trade relations with any countries who perpetrate or facilitate war crimes.
@9ZX76R33mos3MO
Yes, but because of Israeli oppression of, and discrimination against Palestinians, including those in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. Not just Israel's part in the Israel Hamas war.
@9ZWW7F83mos3MO
Yes and they should also hold all people of an Isreali citizenship in Ireland hostage until the war ends
@9ZVZV4G3mos3MO
This is a difficult question with many nuances. Hamas is a terrorist organisation with the goal of destroying Israel. But Israel is committing Domicide in Gaza, making it impossible for the population to live there.
@9ZVZMYP3mos3MO
Trade with Israel should ONLY benefit children and vulnerable people living there who are NOT involved with the conflicts. Citizens are still citizens. Palestine should be the priority for any aid provided by Ireland
