Israel suspends dialogue with EU over product labeling

Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely says Israel will suspend diplomatic dialogue with the EU for the coming weeks following the decision to label products produced in territories captured during the 1967 war.

“The double standard with which the union treats Israel is incomprehensible,” says a top official at the Foreign Ministry.

Lars Faaborg Andersen, the EU ambassador to Israel, was called for a reprimand at the Foreign Ministry following the decision.

Being excused from having to deal with Netanyahu, Danny Danon and Tzipi Hotovely sounds more like a gift than a punishment. Lots of Israelis would take that deal.
