A European citizens’ initiative titled “Justice for Palestine” has collected more than 1,117,000 signatures. It demands that the European Union’s cooperation agreement with Israel be fully suspended.
Iran’s Pars Today reported this on Sunday (15 November), citing the IRIB news agency.
According to the outlet, the petition and the signatures collected from European citizens have been submitted to the European Commission. The Commission must give a formal reply within the next six months.
The European Commission has also said that the number of signatures needed for the proposal to be considered has been reached.
Commission officials are expected to meet representatives of the citizens’ initiative in the coming weeks. An open hearing on the matter will then be held in the European Parliament.
The initiative calls for the existing cooperation agreement between the European Union and Israel to be fully suspended, citing allegations of human rights violations.
