Jerusalem ' class='highlighted-tag'>Hadith of Jerusalem

After a meeting with Prime Minister Dr. Muhammad Shtayyeh, during a joint press conference, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced the resumption of financial aid to the National Authority after a hiatus of about two years, and said that the European Union has been for many years the largest donor to the Palestinian people in order to support people and secure their needs and enable them to face the current conditions and strengthen economic opportunities.


European aid annually amounts to about 600 million euros, and Dear Line has announced the disbursement of immediate aid in the amount of 25 million euros to support food security.


This European decision is a very positive and important step in order to confirm the European position that supports us and understands our needs and conditions, after stopping providing this aid. Forder Line made a positive note when it offered condolences to Dr. Shtayyeh on the martyrdom of journalist Sherine Abu Aqelah and renewed the European Union's demand for a transparent and independent investigation into the case. The circumstances of her martyrdom.


Of course, he thanked Dr. He called on Europe to resume providing financial aid and called on it to put pressure on Israel to end the occupation and to hold elections in Jerusalem , which it occupies and annexed with all arrogance and in violation of international and humanitarian laws.


Our people are going through difficult economic conditions, and the occupation besieges us and steals all our resources and lands. If financial support is very important for strengthening national steadfastness and securing the most basic living needs, then political support is no less important if it is not our first demand, in order to end the occupation, establish an independent Palestinian state, and unite. The European has the political capabilities to put pressure on the occupation, and if it is today signing an agreement to import gas from Israel, which is the occupying state, then it should not consider that a justification for ignoring the reality or condoning the practices of the occupation and its efforts to eliminate all chances of peace and stability in the region, because peace in the region A great benefit to stability and development, not only for us and the Middle East, but for the whole world, with the European Union in the first place.
