French MPs Seek Goods Ban
A committee in the French Parliament has approved a bill to ban imports of products from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, as well as services—particularly financial services—that help develop or maintain them. The bill is due to be debated in a plenary session on November 19. The proposal, introduced by Socialist Party Secretary-General Olivier Faure, was signed by more than 100 lawmakers from eight parliamentary groups. It was backed by the left and the MoDem party, while President Emmanuel Macron’s party and the National Rally opposed it. The bill provides for a one-year prison sentence and a fine of up to 5% of the offending company’s global annual turnover.
