EU MEPs barred from West Bank over Gaza stance
The Israeli occupation authorities have issued a decision to prohibit two Members of the European Parliament from entering the occupied Palestinian territories, due to their opposition to the war on Gaza and their support for international movements against the occupation. The two lawmakers, Jonas Schuster and Hannah Gideen, had planned to visit the West Bank, but Israel informed them of the ban before their arrival. Israel justifies the decision by citing the deputies’ support for pursuing legal action against Israel internationally, as well as their involvement in actions it accuses of committing violations in Gaza, such as genocide, starvation, and targeting children. Schuster is known for his strong opposition to the war on Gaza and for calling for international sanctions against Israel, while Gieden supports increasing European pressure. This comes amid escalating tension between Israel and several European Parliament members over its policies in the Palestinian territories, especially the ongoing war on Gaza.
