EU envoy warns of more anti-settlement steps
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe European Union’s outgoing envoy to the Palestinian territories says the 28-nation bloc is moving forward with measures against Israel’s West Bank settlements.
John Gatt-Rutter does not provide a timeframe, but says “there is support within the union to go on.” He says there are “more tools” the EU can use.
The EU, Israel’s biggest trading partner, is exploring guidelines that would require Israel to label settlement products. It already bars goods produced in settlements from receiving customs exemptions given to Israeli goods.
