- The EU has
built more than 1,000 buildings on the West Bank without planning
permission, as well as roads and other infrastructure
- They are at 40
locations in Area C, which was placed under Israeli jurisdiction by international
law
- The buildings
are given to Palestinians and paid
for using aid money from European countries, including Britain
- Regavim, an
Israeli NGO, launched legal action against the EU
- But the EU is
claiming diplomatic immunity to avoid being taken to court, MailOnline has
learnt
- MPs have
expressed their fury, branding the EU's actions 'dodgy'
- An EU
spokesperson said its actions were illegal because they were
'humanitarian'
The EU is claiming diplomatic immunity after using
taxpayers' money to build unauthorised settlements and roads on Israeli parts
of the West Bank, MailOnline can reveal.
An Israeli NGO launched legal action after photographing
EU flags flying above buildings on land placed under Israeli jurisdiction by
the Oslo Accords, to which the EU is a signatory. EU bureaucrats are
avoiding court by citing diplomatic rules.
The buildings, which are given to Palestinians, are intended to 'pave the way'
for more land to be brought under Palestinian control, according to official EU
papers. Many are bulldozed by Israel only for the EU to repeatedly rebuild
them, generating more costs for the taxpayer.
Leaked documents obtained by MailOnline show that the EU
– which receives £350million per week from Britain – is using diplomatic rules
to place officials above the law, foiling attempts to hold bureaucrats
accountable.
A map of the West Bank produced by Regavim, an Israeli group, shows the
EU-funded Palestinian settlements
represented by stars. The yellow part is Area C, which was placed under Israeli control during the
Oslo Accords. The pink and red parts are Areas A and B, which are Palestinian
Outrage: This Palestinian
settlement in the Adumim area is covered in EU flags and also has mocking, anti-Semitic graffiti daubed
on the buildings by residents
This is a part and parcel of the EU hypocrisy and bias toward Israel and its new anti-Semitism mask. and they expecting Israel to accept them as moderator in settling the conflict between Israel and the pseudo tribe called palestinians.
