Ya’alon says labeling products is ‘prize for terrorism’

Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon says the EU decision to label products made outside the Green Line and in the Golan Heights is “a shameful step, giving a prize to terrorism and the people behind it.”

“Even if this or that European has a dispute with the State of Israel regarding the status of the territory and its future, the decision to label products is pure hypocrisy,” he adds.
