Israel’s Economy Minister and leader of the Jewish Home party Naftali Bennett wants to end co-operation with the European Union, Haaretz has reported.
The suggestion comes as a response to new EU guidelines that advise against co-operation with Israeli bodies that are located beyond the Green Line or that have ties with settlements.
Mr Bennett’s thoughts were made known at a meeting on Monday where the impact of the new rules were discussed, Haaretz said.
Haaretz wrote: “Though Bennett wasn’t present at the meeting, he made it clear that he believed the right thing to do was end all co-operation with the European Union.”
