14:33Now PlayingIsrael and the EU established diplomatic relations in 1959. TheRebel.media recently sat down with the Ambassador of the EU to Israel, Lars Faaborg-Andersen, to discuss this complicated relationship. He is particularly critical of Israeli "settlements."
Because Israel is a democracy, the EU is far more critical of them than of other Middle Eastern countries. This double standard extends to EU NGOs pushing BDS campaigns, even though the Ambassador insists that the EU is against BDS.
According to Israeli officials, the EU is acting illegally (and violating its own signed agreements) by funding unauthorized Palestinian buildings in areas placed under Israel control by international law, including the West Bank.
Investigative journalist Ben-Dror Yemini says "Israel should tell the EU, 'enough.'" He says that the EU's official statements about Israel often violate their real world actions. Igal Hecht presents a number of examples of this.
