West Bank: ‘Without international trade and financial support, large settlements would not exist’
France is considering legislation to restrict trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, namely the West Bank.
The proposed legislation aims to target Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, specifically the West Bank. Ivar Ekeland, Professor Emeritus at Paris Dauphine-PSL University and Chair of the Organization of Academics for the Respect of International Law in Palestine, discussed these potential measures with Alison Sargent.
Without the support of financial entities, of insurance, of providing goods and so on, settlements, big settlements, would not exist.
Ekeland is advocating for comprehensive restrictions that would not only limit trade of goods but also extend to services including financial services, insurance and tourism. He emphasized the critical role of international support in sustaining these settlements.
