EU’s Kallas to discuss Israel’s alleged human rights breaches with Tel Aviv
The European Union’s foreign policy chief says she would discuss with Israel a review conducted by the EU’s diplomatic service regarding the country’s human rights obligations.
The EU’s diplomatic service said on Friday there were indications Israel had breached its human rights obligations under the terms of a pact governing its ties with the bloc.
“I will now address the results of the review with Israel,” said Kallas at a news conference.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry has rejected the EU report, which ministers discussed on Monday, as a “moral and methodological failure”.
