Ariel Mayor Eliyahu Shviro has strongly criticized the European Parliament's decision to label Israeli products made in Judea, Samaria, and the Golan Heights.
"Labeling products from across the Green Line is an unfortunate step that is based on a complete lack of understanding of the relationship between Palestinians and Jews in Judea and Samaria," he said.
According to Shviro, the damage will first be felt by tens of thousands of Palestinians families who earn their living with dignity in factories located in Judea and Samaria. "A European delegation will never come here to seriously learn about the issue. It's unfortunate and sad that we are once again labeling Jewish products in Europe. The lesson was not learned," he added.
