The media reported on the intentions of the European Union to suspend the visa-free regime for Israel

The European Union (EU) is considering the possibility of abolishing the visa-free regime for Israeli citizens, Euronews reported on June 18, citing sources inside the European Parliament.

It is reported that the new procedure, approved by the EU legislature, provides for the suspension of the visa-free regime in case of violation of the norms of the UN Charter, human rights, principles of international humanitarian law, as well as ignoring the decisions of international judicial authorities.

According to sources, the initiative may be applied to Israel in connection with UN accusations of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza Strip.

It is also reported that the proposal to amend the entry rules was initiated by several political factions of the European Parliament, pointing specifically to the situation around Israel.
