The European Union has put its funding of Palestine on hold following the terror attacks committed by Hamas on Israelis last week.<\/p>\n
All payments from the EU to Palestine have been suspended with the fund placed under review, according to\u00a0EU Enlargement Commissioner Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi.<\/p>\n
The political union’s development budget totalled\u00a0\u20ac691 million and its suspension follows an announcement from the German government that it too is halting its\u00a0\u20ac125mn aid programme to Palestine.<\/p>\n
Mr V\u00e1rhelyi wrote on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter:\u00a0\u201cThe scale of terror and brutality against Israel and its people is a turning point. There can be no business as usual.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll payments [are] immediately suspended. All projects put under review. All new budget proposals, including for 2023 [are] postponed until further notice.<\/p>\n
\u201cIncitement to hatred, violence and glorification of terror have poisoned the minds of too many,\u201d he added. \u201cWe need action and we need it now.\u201d<\/p>\n
