Patriots for Europe group adopts IHRA principles combating antisemitism, express support for Israel
During the conference, participants expressed support for Israel and settlement in Judea and Samaria, while opposing sanctions and boycotts imposed on them.
Dozens of European Parliament members from the Patriots for Europe group signed a charter on Wednesday, adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) principles to combat antisemitism and remember the Holocaust. At the conference in Strasbourg, participants expressed solidarity with Israel and its settlements in the West Bank, while opposing sanctions and boycotts against them.
The conference came amid measures by European nations targeting parties linked to West Bank settlements. Among the attendees were European right-wing and conservative party officials, along with Likud MK Ariel Kallner, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, and Likud Court President Michael Kleiner. In recorded messages, Kallner and Dagan condemned the sanctions, arguing they disproportionately harm Palestinian workers in Israeli businesses.
Kleiner warned that the sanctions could force these workers to seek employment in the Palestinian Authority, where they would earn significantly less. Kallner also denounced European antisemitism as a threat that extends beyond Jews, warning that it could lead to a broader war against civilization.
