Fatah Calls to Ban Violent Settlers from Entering Europe

RAMALLAH, July 16, 2011 (WAFA) – Fatah movement’s spokesman in Europe, Jamal Nazzal, Saturday called on the European Union state members to ban Israeli settlers involved in violence from entering European territories.

In a press release by the movement’s Information and Cultural Commission, Nazzal praised the Cooperation for Peace organization’s call to deny settlers from access to Europe, and described it as “Europe’s finest response to Israel’s deportation of European peace activists.”

Nazzal also called on Europe to use the European Representative Office (ERO) recommendations in 2010 as a reference to deal with the Israeli policies.

ERO recommendations in December 2010 call to consider East Jerusalem a capital of the Palestinian state, and urge not to hold any meetings between European and Israeli officials in the occupied East Jerusalem, said the statement.  

Moreover, Nazzal called on European officials not to accept Israeli security escorts, to avoid sleeping in Israeli hotels or using Israeli transportation in the occupied city, in accordance to the spirit of 2010 recommendations.

Fatah additionally called to halt any visits to Israeli settlers’ excavation sites in East Jerusalem and any other place, as well as to exclude settlements products from trade agreements with Israel.
