Israeli MK to European Parliament: Labeling Makes You an Unfair Broker in Peace Process
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - Israeli MK Hilik Bar (Zionist Union) told the European Parliament on Thursday: "When you label products, you are labeling yourselves as less relevant to solving the conflict, as an unfair broker....You are losing the Israeli public, which thinks that you don't understand the reality in which they live." Bar described cooperation between the Gilboa Regional Council in Israel and the Jenin Governorate in the Palestinian Authority in health, tourism and industrial projects, including a joint industrial park currently under construction with the potential to employ 15,000 Palestinians. "You want to label products? Label this industrial park and encourage Europeans to buy more products from there, products that are the fruits of cooperation."
