Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein (Likud) has commented on the European Union's decision to label Israeli products.
"This is an unfortunate decision whose hypocrisy is incomparable. The use of boycotts as a weapon is unacceptable and does not advance a solution to the situation in our area. Harming factories beyond the imaginary 'Green Line' will harm many Palestinians who are directly employed by these factories, along with their families, It harms the delicate fabric between Palestinians and Israelis."
He added that "In addition to being foolish, it is also hypocritical to work with the source of tomatoes rather than helping the millions in poverty around the world, including the refugees flooding into Europe from the conflict in Syria."
