Joint List lawmakers complain to EU reps over house demolitions
Lawmakers from the Joint (Arab) List meet with European Union representatives following violent demonstrations against Israel’s demolition of homes in a Bedouin village this morning, during which a deadly car ramming attack took place.
Four MKs from the party tell the delegation, headed by the EU Ambassador to Israel Lars Faaborg-Andersen and the European Commission envoy to the Middle East Michael Kohler, that Israel’s “cruel policy” is damaging the Bedouin community in the Negev.
“The MKs also spoke about the anti-democratic laws that have been legislated by the coalition in the past two years,” a statement from the party reads.
