The European Parliament is set to discuss Israel’s proposed judicial overhaul this evening in a session titled “Deterioration of democracy in Israel and consequences on the occupied territories.”
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell will speak at the start and close of the hour-long session, and is likely to take a critical stance. However, several pro-Israel MEPs will speak, including Antonio López-Istúriz White, chair of the delegation for relations with Israel, and delegation member Ilana Cicurel.
The debate will begin at 6:30 p.m. Israel time, but there will be no vote or resolution passed.
In recent days, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen has called on European countries and the EU to refrain from interference in Israel’s internal affairs, including in a phone call earlier today with Borrell.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
