Israel: EU Can Examine Palestinian Prisoners' Conditions If Israel Can Examine European Prisons
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - The chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, Elmar Brok, last week asked to send a special delegation to examine the conditions of Palestinian prisoners in Israel. A source in the Israel Foreign Ministry said the request was coordinated with Palestinians seeking to promote an anti-Israel campaign on the issue. Therefore, in response, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman instructed Israel's ambassador to the EU to agree only if an Israeli delegation is allowed to visit prisoners in EU jails to examine their conditions.
