Respond EU-Israel Association Agreement delayed over human rights concerns

Global - The European Union (EU) has announced that the EU-Israel Association Agreement has not yet been answered, as the European Commission has not responded to questions regarding Israel's commitment to human rights. "As far as I know, the Commission has not yet responded to countries that have asked the EU executive to examine Israel's respect for human rights, a condition stipulated in the EU-Israel Association Agreement," EU Foreign Affairs Commissioner Josep Borrell said on the sidelines of the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg on Monday. "Ireland and Spain asked the Commission in mid-February to examine whether Israel is respecting its obligations to respect human rights stipulated in the EU-Israel Association Agreement," Borrell said. The EU High Representative said: "We ask Israel by all possible means not to attack Rafah, where more than one million civilians have taken refuge," who "will be slaughtered if the attack takes place."
