Palestinian Envoy Urges EU to Suspend Israel Agreement
(MENAFN) Palestine’s representative in Austria, Salah Abdel Shafi, has urged the European Union to halt its Association Agreement with Israel “until Israel complies with the terms of the agreement.”
This appeal reflects growing dissatisfaction with Israel’s conduct, particularly regarding its adherence to international standards.
Amid escalating public outcry, the European Union began reassessing the agreement on May 20, following a formal request from the Netherlands.
The review primarily addresses issues related to human rights and international law.
As reported by a news outlet, which referenced a high-ranking EU official, the European External Action Service has uncovered “indications” suggesting Israel may have breached its human rights responsibilities through its operations in Gaza.
The decision on how to proceed will be determined by EU member nations during the upcoming EU Foreign Ministers' Meeting, set for July 15.
