Report: EU officials demand compensation for Israeli demolition of E1 structures
Saeb Erekat says Israel's decision to freeze Palestinian funds is equal to piracy; dozens of security in prisoners in Israel to go on hunger strike Sunday.By Jack Khoury | 22:40 12.04.14 |
European Union officials alleged on Friday that Israel demolished EU-funded housing shelters outside of Ma'aleh Adumim earlier in the week, AFP reported.
Eighteen tin huts built to house Palestinians during the unusually severe winter weather this year were "partially funded by EU member states," according to the report.
EU officials demanded financial compensation from Israel to Brussels in response to the demolition of three of the structures, Belgian news service EurActiv reported.
“We should ask for compensation from Israel whenever EU-funded humanitarian aid projects are destroyed,” EurActiv quoted an anonymous EU diplomat as saying.
