Shaked says European ‘hatred’ of Israel ‘crossed every line’

Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked calls the move to label products from territories taken in 1967 an act that unfairly singles out Israel, describing the decision as “anti-Israel and anti-Jewish.”

“European hypocrisy and hatred of Israel has crossed every line,” she says following the European announcement.

Shaked tells Israel Radio that the government plans to fight the decision.

“We will study the decision once the full details are released and decide on the appropriate response,” she says. “We will consider legal steps if necessary.”
