ECI appalled at one-sided EP recommendation which calls for the release of Palestinian terrorists | European Coalition for Israel

Brussels, June 28th, 2023 – European Coalition for Israel expresses its great disappointment with the one-sided recommendation on EU relations with the Palestinian Authority which passed the European Parliament´s Committee on Foreign Relations with only minor amendments on Tuesday night.
The recommendation, which is drafted by Swedish Socialist MEP Evin Incir, takes a very critical line against the Israeli government whereas the Palestinian Authority, which has been the subject of much discontent within the European Parliament in recent years, gets a free pass. In one of the most appalling clauses the recommendation urges the Palestinian Authority to release all political prisoners, which include convicted terrorist operatives from EU black-listed terror groups such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
