Lapid: EU Call to Label West Bank Settlement Products Is "Irresponsible"
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - A call by 16 EU foreign ministers to label West Bank settlement products is irresponsible, Yesh Atid party head Yair Lapid said Thursday as he spoke by telephone with EU foreign policy chief Frederica Mogherini. "This is a de-facto call to boycott Israel," he said. "There is no difference between products which are produced over the Green Line and those that are produced within the Green Line. This is an irresponsible call that could wreak havoc on the Israeli economy. This kind of call is a stain on the EU, and the State of Israel has to fight to prevent this kind of initiative."
