The European Union is threatening to suspend its trade agreement with Israel, The Zioneer reported Saturday, condemning the move as 'Western hypocrisy' and accusing the bloc of punishing Israel for fighting terrorism while appeasing terror sponsors.
The Zioneer on Saturday published an editorial condemning a reported European Union threat to suspend its trade agreement with Israel, calling the move 'Western hypocrisy' and accusing the EU of punishing Israel for fighting terrorism while appeasing terror sponsors. The post follows a report earlier Saturday that the EU is considering such a step, which The Zioneer first reported at 10:47 Jerusalem time. The editorial reflects growing frustration in Jerusalem with European diplomatic pressure, as the EU has also accused Israel of promoting settlement expansion through 'abhorrent violence' and recently faced a diplomatic rift after its foreign minister referred to Israel as an 'apartheid state.' The Zioneer's piece frames the trade threat as part of a broader pattern of European criticism of Israeli security policy.
