Israel’s government has strongly criticized the European Union over its decision to re-examine its economic ties with Tel Aviv, citing what it terms an “outrageous and indecent” review of the association agreement. The private submission, seen by POLITICO, accuses EU officials of relying on biased evidence and failing to give Israel a fair chance to respond.
The move comes after a majority of EU countries called for an investigation into whether Israel may have breached its human rights obligations under the agreement, following the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The European Commission has launched an investigation into this matter, which is likely to have significant implications for Israel’s economic ties with the bloc.
