Prospects of these negotiations had previously begun with Chile's former president Michelle Bachelet. Although, it looks as though some Chile legislators plan to delay negotiations until Israel changes their policies with Palestine. The pro- Palestine legislators announced they would not be signing any free trade agreements between the two nations in the near future.
Legislators offered two arguments in support of their firm stance. First, no negotiations could be settled while Israel continues to have settlements in politically disputed territories. Second, some members of their legislation believe that signing a free trade agreement with Israel would be hypocritical considering the nation currently affects Palestine's ability to trade.
To alleviate some of the controversy, President Sebastian Piñera mentioned that countries such as Argentina and Brazil (that acknowledged Palestine prior to Chile) already had established free trade agreements with Israel.
