(European Jewish Press) The President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani, directly admonished the chairman of the parliament's delegation for relations with Palestine (DPAL), MEP Neoklis Sylikiotis, for offering a platform to relatives of convicted Palestinian terrorists. 17 Members of the European Parliament from across the political spectrum had written to Tajani denouncing the delegation for hosting in Strasbourg as guest speakers relatives of two convicted terrorists, Marwan Barghouti and Ahmad Sa'adat, under the pretext of discussing ''the situation of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails." Swedish MEP Lars Adaktusson reminded the European Parliament president that Barghouti and Sa'adat are members of two organizations listed as terrorist by the European Union.
