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 world leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, have publicly called on European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to ban trade between the EU and Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories. The open letter urges Brussels to stop what the group describes as trade with settlements considered illegal under international law, adding pressure on the European Union to act.
Why now: Renewed international scrutiny of EU-Israel trade ties and the legal status of settlement products has pushed the issue back into the political debate.
