RT by @BillyKelleherEU: It has been nearly 3 months since 30 other MEPs & I urged “the @EU_Commission to initiate a thorough review of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.”

We have received no reply.

While the Agreement commits both sides to respect for Human Rights, the @CIJ_ICJ ruling has found that the charge of genocide against Israel is plausible & calls for Israel to take immediate measures to enable the provision of humanitarian assistance - a watershed moment.

In January, I voted in favour of a number of amendments in the #EuropeanParliament which urged the suspension of the agreement & called on the EU to fully leverage this agreement.

These were all defeated.

A review of this agreement will signal our unwavering commitment to human rights & put pressure on the Israeli authorities. The current situation cannot continue.
