The era of sanctions against Israel has started:*
"New European Union guidelines will prevent Israeli ministries, public bodies and businesses that operate in occupied Palestinian territory from receiving loans worth hundreds of millions of Euros each year from the European Investment Bank, it emerged today. The EU will also stop awarding grant funding to Israeli ministries, public bodies or private businesses for activities that take place in occupied Palestinian territory, even if they are headquartered inside Israels pre-1967 borders. According to a leaked version of the guidelines, the EU aims to ensure that its own institutions respect the obligation to not recognize Israeli sovereignty in the Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967, including the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip as well as the Syrian Golan Heights." 'The era of sanctions against Israel has started': Official BDS movement statement on new EU regulations against settlements. The new rules for eligibility for European Union financial instruments such as the European Investment Bank are set forth in section 12 (b) of the guideline They provide that : In the case of financial instruments, Israeli entities will be considered eligible as final recipients if they do not operate in the territories referred to in point 2 [those occupied by Israel in 1967], either in the framework of EU-funded financial instruments or otherwise. So, regardless of the purposes loans are for, operations in the OPT shall disqualify Israeli companies from funding. I welcome these new EU rules, that effectively sanction violations of intl law by Israelis/Israeli companies. Sherri
