Meretz MK welcomes product labeling

Meretz MK Issawi Freij welcomes the decision to label settlement products, saying the settlements were a painful burden the Israeli market had been stuck with carrying, like a hunchback with a bump.

The decision “can help European customers who do not want to boycott Israel — but at the same time do not want to finance the occupation — to purchase Israel-made goods without worrying that they are thus funding the settlements and the occupation. This is a decision that creates a difference between boycotting Israel and boycotting the occupation, hence its great importance.”
