Israel is scared that if Ireland passes a law criminalizing trade with Israeli settlements in the West Bank, other EU countries might follow suit.
So to stop that, Israel used its representatives at AIPAC to push US politicians to make posts on social media threatening Ireland not to.

This still only equates to just £2.93 a day to rent 11.5 square metres of public space! A shocking waste of public resources when you learn cars are parked on average 96% of time, according to the RAC Foundation. It should be at least double this amount. www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

Your regular reminder Delft’s market square was a surface parking lot as recently as 2004.
A razor-thin coalition (19-18 votes) initiated a six-month pilot to help merchants realize cars don’t spend money, people do.
Years later, no one remembers the controversy or regrets the decision. *Sound on*
