VP/HR — Additional EU aid to Palestinian territories

14.3.2018

Question for written answer E-001567-18
to the Commission (Vice-President/High Representative)
Rule 130
David Martin (S&D)

Earlier this year, it was widely reported that the European Union had pledged an additional EUR 42.5 million aid package for the Palestinian occupied territories following Donald Trump’s decision to cut US support to the Palestinians.

In order to inform many of my concerned constituents, may I ask the VP/HR if any further information is available, both on the implementation of the US threat of a cut in aid, and the certainty of, and timetable for, the EU’s additional support?
