Netanyahu says EU should be ‘ashamed’ of product labeling

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls the EU decision to label products “hypocritical” since it refers only to Israel and not to 200 other conflicts around the world.

“The European Union decided to mark Israel alone, and we will not accept the fact that Europe is labeling the side that’s been attacked with acts of terrorism,” Netanyahu says.

“The Israeli economy is strong and will withstand this. Those who will be hurt are the Palestinians working in Israeli factories,” Netanyahu says. “The European Union should be ashamed.”
