Israel accuses EU of being ‘obsessed’ over demolition of Palestinian homes in West Bank

‘Tel Aviv has accused the European Union of “disproportionately” focusing on the West Bank instead of paying attention to humanitarian crises taking place across the globe. It comes after the bloc demanded that Israel stop demolishing Palestinian homes.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry summoned the EU’s deputy ambassador to Israel, Mark Gallagher, on Monday, according to Haaretz.
The summons followed Brussels’ vocal protest of the demolition of 42 homes in a Bedouin village in the West Bank, in order to make room for Jewish settlements.
During the meeting with Gallagher, the ministry’s EU director, Avivit Bar-Ilan, told the deputy ambassador that the buildings being destroyed were constructed illegally. She reminded that “in Israel, illegal construction is dealt with according to the law,” according to ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon.’
