Ireland has been preparing a law to curb trade with settlements in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, facing pressure at home to widen the scope of the ban from goods to services.

Experts stressed that Iran’s Islamic regime has spent decades covertly entrenching itself across the continent, often under the cover of diplomacy, making removal far from straightforward.

The Jerusalem Post's must-listen news roundup with Shifra Jacobs—the top stories, clear and concise. 

“After months of a ceasefire and demands from humanitarian organizations to open it without obstacles, Israel will beginthe process of partially reopening the Rafah crossing," Al-Ain media reported.

“The Revolutionary Guard is the largest anti-terrorism organization in the world,” a banner that was raised at the Speaker’s podium, the report said. The IRGC flag was also raised.

Only a handful of crossings are expected on Sunday, according to Walla, allowing operators to ensure that all identification screening systems are functioning properly.

The Eurobarometer survey was published on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, asking each country in the European Union on their levels of perceived antisemitism.

Entrance and exit through the crossing will be allowed only through coordination first with Egypt, Army Radio explained on Wednesday. Egypt will then transfer names to the Shin Bet.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi denounced the EU's decision to designate the IRGC as terrorists, calling it a "major strategic mistake," a "blatant hypocrisy... selective outrage."

Israel welcomed the move, with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar calling it "an important and historic decision."
