DEVELOPMENT
BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 28th MAY 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 4th JUNE 2024
Question
“Will the Minister advise –
- whether there has been any discussion in his Department in respect of the Island’s economic relations with Israel; and
- whether he considers that business with Israel should continue as usual from an Economic Development point of view?”
Answer
- There have been no discussions within my Department in relation to the Island’s economic relations with Israel. The Government’s interaction with other jurisdictions is facilitated by the External Relations Department.
- External Relations policy is outside of my portfolio. From an economic development perspective, private businesses are entitled to engage with customers and suppliers as they see fit, provided they follow the Island’s sanctions regime.
