” As part of my commitments for the human rights, and for a just and lasting peace based on international law, I pledge, if elected to be a Member of the European Parliament, to:

– call for the end of the occupation and colonisation of the occupied Palestinian territory by the State of Israel;
– support and call for an end to EU trade with Israel’s illegal settlements in Palestine;
– call for the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in light of Israel’s violation of Article 2 for its war in Gaza, as well as the suspension of any trade of military equipment and of any military cooperation with Israel, as long as Israel violates human rights and international law;
– work towards the enforcement of the rights of the Palestinian people, including the right of self-determination, and all UN resolutions;
– work for EU compliance with the principle of non-recognition of Israel’s illegal annexation of occupied East Jerusalem, and the prevention of forced displacement of Palestinians;
– support freedom of expression, and oppose any conflation of criticism of the policies of the State of Israel with antisemitism; protect the digital rights of the Palestinians;
– support funding for UNRWA and reject attempts to impose specific conditional funding on
Palestinian civil society;
