The Foreign Ministry issued a first response to the decision of the European Court of Justice to mark products from Judea and Samaria, the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem.
"Israel firmly rejects the decision of the European Court of Justice that has been dragged into a political campaign whose purpose is to implement a double standard against Israel and its uniqueness. There are about 200 different territorial disputes around the world they have not ruled on and did not address in court. This is a discriminatory political decision. "
"The decision distorts peace and contradicts the EU's own positions. Such decisions reinforce the PA's refusal to negotiate directly with Israel and rewards Israeli haters and radicals who promote boycotts against Israel and deny its right to exist," the Foreign Ministry said.
