EU says aid suspension not hostile act against Palestinians
Palestine-European Union, Economics, 4/24/2006
The European Union asserted Monday that it will continue to be a 'reliable partner' for the Palestinians only two weeks after suspending payments to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority.
"The decision that has been taken to suspend aid to the Palestinian Authority is in no way an hostile act to the Palestinian people," European Commission spokesperson for external relations, Emma Udwin, said in Brussels.
"There are more decisions to come. We will continue to be a reliable partner for the Palestinian population," she added.
The EU and the US have cut funding to the PA in order to punish the Palestinian people for electing Hamas and for not recognizing Israel.
