The European Union suspended aid payments to the Palestinians and said it has placed 691m euros ($728m ) of support “under review” after Hamas launched its attack on Israel.
European Union Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi posted on social media: “All payments immediately suspended. All projects put under review. All new budget proposals, including for 2023 postponed until further notice. Comprehensive assessment of the whole portfolio.”
