    It is regretful that France is advancing measures that can be interpreted as encouraging radical elements and the movement to boycott Israel.

    The Government of Israel condemns the decision taken by the Government of France to implement EU Commission directives on labeling Israeli products produced over the ’67 lines. It regrets that France, which actually has a law against boycotts, is advancing measures that can be interpreted as encouraging radical elements and the movement to boycott Israel.
     
    Moreover, it is unfathomable and even disturbing that France has chosen to apply a double standard with regards to Israel by ignoring the other 200 territorial disputes around the world, including those right on France’s own doorstep.
