The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Rangel, stated that he does not anticipate new measures from the European Union regarding the West Bank until elections in Israel. This position arises in a context of international tensions regarding the expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories.
Rangel highlighted that Portugal does not agree with the criterion currently under discussion in the EU. The Portuguese government maintains a critical position regarding Israeli colonization policy in the West Bank.
The question of European measures against Israel has been debated in diplomatic circles, but the legislative process should not advance before the Israeli electoral cycle. This situation reflects the complexities of relations between the EU and Israel.
