European lawmaker wants Israeli military companies barred from accessing EU funds
Nacho Sanchez Amor, a Spanish socialist lawmaker in the European Parliament, has said that Israeli military companies should not be able to access European Union funds.
In a social media post, he said that he and lawmaker Sandra Gomez have asked the European Commission to consider the request.
“The EU cannot fall under double standards when it comes to human rights violations and and it cannot be accessory to #Netanyahu genocidal actions,” he said. “With Sandra Gomez we ask the EU Commission to bar Israeli military companies from accessing EU Funds that can be used in Gaza.”
