EU suspends aid to Palestine: 'The scale of terror and brutality marks a turning point'
European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi announced that the EU has suspended all aid to Palestine ahead of an emergency meeting of EU foreign ministers.
European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi made a statement ahead of the emergency foreign ministers' meeting convened following Hamas's surprise attack on Israel.
In a post on his X account, Varhelyi stated that the current development aid program amounts to 691 million euros, adding, "All payments suspended, all projects under review, all project budgets including for 2023 postponed until further notice, all programs re-evaluated.
