CPJ wrote an open letter on Wednesday, June 18, urging European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas to propose a suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
On May 20, the European Union committed to reviewing the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which sets out the EU’s legal and institutional framework for political dialogue and economic cooperation with Israel. Kallas is expected to present the review to EU member states at the next meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council on June 23.
CPJ’s letter calls for the EU to take “decisive action” by preparing “an immediate proposal for the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement” in light of the “overwhelming” evidence of abuse against the press and crimes against international law.
The full letter can be found here.
