EU Envoy Denies Sanctions Against Israel in the Offing
(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - The EU does not plan to ban products from West Bank settlements, even if they are labeled as having originated from Israel, Andrew Standley, the EU's ambassador to Israel, said Tuesday, dismissing recent media reports. The ambassador stressed that the imposition of any kind of sanctions against Israel required a unanimous decision of the 27 member states. "I don't see it as a likely probability," he said. "The EU is opposed to boycotts."
