"You" site in Hebrew:
More than 1.1 million European citizens signed a petition demanding an end to the commercial and political partnership with "Israel", prompting the European Commission to study the agreement signed in 1995.
The Commission will meet with the petition's organizers in the coming weeks, while the European Parliament will hold a public hearing, with the official response expected by May 2027.
The pressures are in line with a European proposal to tie Israel's participation in the "Horizon" research program to respect for human rights and international law, against the background of Israeli fears of the consequences of the degree on the science and scientific research sector.
