Elders urge von der Leyen to ban EU trade with Israeli settlements
Original: Dear President von der Leyen: Ban EU trade with illegal Israeli settlements
The Elders, the group of former global leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, have publicly called on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to ban trade between the European Union and Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. The open appeal argues the settlements are illegal under international law and that continued EU trade undermines the bloc's stated commitment to a two-state solution.
Why now: Pressure is mounting on the EU over its trade relationship with Israeli settlements amid ongoing debate about the bloc's response to the conflict.
