EU Commission to Review Cooperation Deal with Israel Following Citizen Petition
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the European Commission has confirmed it has received a petition signed by more than 1.1 million European citizens, which will lead to a review of the cooperation agreement between the European Union and the Israeli regime. This petition was signed by European citizens with the aim of suspending commercial and political relations with Israel.
The European Commission, based in Brussels, announced that the petition successfully gathered 1,117,104 verified signatures from citizens of 12 EU member states. According to the regulations for European Citizens’ Initiatives, the Commission is obligated to begin a review process and respond within six months of receiving eligible initiatives. The Commission has stated that it will publish its official response by May 12, 2027, at the latest.
The cooperation agreement between the European Union and the Israeli regime, dating back to 1995, grants special trade advantages to Israel. Since the commencement of Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip, calls to suspend this agreement have significantly increased.
