More than 457,000 European citizens have signed a petition calling for the full suspension of the European Union’s partnership agreement with Israel within the initiative’s first month.

Launched on January 13 as a formally registered European citizens’ initiative, the petition must reach 1 million signatures from at least seven EU member states by January 13 next year to trigger formal consideration by the European Commission. It is not a symbolic appeal. It is a mechanism embedded within the EU’s democratic framework, designed to translate public will into institutional review.

The petition calls for suspension on the grounds that Israel is in breach of Article 2 of the association agreement, which conditions the partnership on respect for human rights and international law. As the initiative states, “EU citizens cannot tolerate that the EU maintains an agreement that contributes to legitimize and finance a State that commits crimes against humanity and war crimes.”
As of Monday, the initiative had gathered 457,950 signatures, more than 45 percent of the required total in just one month. Signatories come from all 27 EU member states without exception. This is not a regional surge. It is continental.

Ciao, do you have a link to the petition to share? Or do you know where I can find it?

I've been trying to log in for a while, but the login service sucks and won't let me in.

same here, getting error 403.

It happens. If the union that's supposed to unite european countries and their values, says quote "we have the values of the talmud"-ursula. That means we are being run by a parliament that cares more about Israel and jewish values than all values and wishes from european countries and citizens

What we want doesn't matter. We don't control the EU, someone else does.
