Israel convinced EU will keep Hamas on its terror list

Israel is convinced that the European Union will do everything necessary to keep Hamas on Europe's terror list, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Emanuel Nachshon said on Thursday, according to Haaretz.

Nachshon was responding to a European Union legal opinion that the terrorist group which controls Gaza should be removed from the EU list of terrorist organizations. The opinion was delivered earlier on Thursday by Eleanor Sharpston, one of ten legal advisers to the European Court of Justice.
