Authorities backtrack over claims of discrimination, two years after adopting measure vocally protested by Israel; Amnesty International criticizes Paris over move
French authorities have reportedly suspended their insistence on special labeling for West Bank products following a lawsuit alleging that the practice is discriminatory.
The France office of the NGO Amnesty International complained about the suspension in a statement Wednesday.
“Instead of complying with the request to end imports [from the West Bank], the government has chosen to roll back and suspend the demand for labeling,” the human rights group wrote.
