The European Union says that the bloc is “immediately” suspending hundreds of million of euros in aid for Palestinian authorities because of what an EU commissioner called the “scale of terror and brutality” during the attacks on Israel by Hamas.
FILE - EU Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi speaks during a press conference in Tirana, Albania, on Oct. 6, 2023. Varhelyi said Monday Oct. 9, 2023 the bloc is suspending all payments immediately to the Palestinians because of what he called the scale of terror and brutality during the attacks of Hamas against Israel.
Varhelyi said that “as the biggest donor of the Palestinians, the European Commission is putting its full development portfolio under review,” which he said amounted to 691 million euros . EU foreign ministers are slated to meet in Muscat, Oman, on Tuesday to discuss the situation and determine what actions should be taken. Varhelyi’s announcement seemed to preempt the discussions.“The foundations for peace, tolerance and coexistence must now be addressed. Incitement to hatred, violence and glorification of terror have poisoned the minds of too many,” the commissioner wrote.
The EU’s most populous member, Germany, and its neighbor Austria, also said they were suspending development aid for the Palestinian areas. “But these attacks on Israel are a terrible watershed, so we will review our whole commitment to the Palestinian areas,” she added.
