Ireland's central bank to stop approving sale of Israeli 'war bonds'

Ireland's central bank will no longer approve the sale of Israeli "war bonds" used to fund military operations in Gaza. The bank was the only regulating authority in the European Union that approved these bonds for sale across the bloc. Following the expiration of the current approval, the responsibility for approving new prospectuses has transferred to Luxembourg. This move was hailed as a victory by the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign and follows other Irish government actions, including recognizing the state of Palestine and proposing a ban on trade with businesses in occupied territories.
