"The authorisation by the Irish Central Bank for the sale of Israeli government bonds in the EU runs out today, amid pressure from the opposition and activists for the Government to end the 'rubber stamp' on what they have dubbed 'war bonds' that are funding genocide in Gaza."
"The Central Bank of Ireland is the designated authority in relation to the sale of Israel Bonds in the EU and has determined the securities meet the standards of the bloc's prospectus regulations."
The authorisation by the Irish Central Bank for sale of Israeli government bonds in the EU expires today. Opposition parties and activists are calling for the Government to stop renewing the authorisation, describing the approvals as a 'rubber stamp' for so-called 'war bonds' alleged to fund genocide in Gaza. The Central Bank of Ireland is the designated EU authority for the sale of Israel Bonds and has judged that the securities meet the bloc's prospectus regulations. The situation raises legal and ethical questions about financial approvals and continued EU market access for those bonds.
