The European Union’s top court ruled Tuesday that EU countries must identify products made in Israeli settlements on their labels. The ruling pertains to products imported from settlements in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights, all captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War. The Palestinians claim the West Bank and east Jerusalem as parts of a future state, a position that has global support.
The European Court of Justice said that when products come from those territories, their labels must provide an “indication of that provenance” so that consumers can make “informed choices” when they shop.
