Israel to EU: Don't Give Funds to NGOs with Terror Ties
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The EU must not give in to Palestinian demands to allow aid to groups with ties to designated terrorist groups, Israel's Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan wrote to the EU's new foreign minister, Josep Borrell, on Tuesday. Erdan referred to the many ties between the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, designated as a terrorist group in the EU, U.S., Canada and Israel, and Palestinian NGOs. The Palestinian NGOs have demanded the EU erase a stipulation that aid must be sent only to organizations with no ties to EU-designated terrorist groups.
