A message to Europe not to “turn its back” to Israel, was addressed by President Isaac Herzog, while the European Commission announced that it would adopt a package of measures against the country on Wednesday, suspending commercial provisions and sanctions on extreme ministers and ministers.
In particular, the Israeli president called on Europe on Tuesday not to leave Israel, warning that Epirus would damage herself if she “turned her back” to the Jewish state.
“I want to be clear: isolation, exclusion and punishment of Israel mean that we are victims of chaos agents,” he said at an event at the German Embassy in Herzliya.
“Europe must understand: turning its back on Israel right now is equivalent to turning its back on its own interests. And we will all pay the price. Yes, in science and innovation, research and culture. But mainly in a weakened alliance of moderate, for the benefit of an enhanced axis of extremes. We must not allow this, “he added.
Hertzog’s statements come as Israel is increasingly isolated internationally, both for its actions in Gaza and the recent attack in Qatar. European Commission President Ursula von der Laien had warned last week that the Commission would “freeze bilateral support for Israel”, even proposing sanctions to some far -right members of the Israeli government.
