Eight EU
member states will demand compensation after two schools designed for
Palestinian children that they funded were demolished by Israel.
Palestinian
ambassador to the European Union and Belgium, Abdel-Rahim al-Farra, made this
known on Thursday.
Mr. Al-Farr
said the member states which were not named, prepared a memorandum demanding
payment for Israel’s demolition of two schools in the West Bank in August 2016.
Belgium said
in August that they would demand compensation for the structures and for solar
panels, which supplied electricity to a separate school and were seized by the
Israeli army.
According to
Israeli daily, Haaretz, France, Spain, Sweden, Luxembourg, Italy, Ireland and
Denmark are following suit.
Israel said
that the structures were built without the required permits.
The Israeli
and Belgian foreign ministers declined to comment on the initiative.
