Ramallah, Muharram 29, 1437, Nov 11, 2015, SPA -- The Palestinian leadership welcomes the European Union's decision to label products from Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, as dpa reported. "We welcome this decision and consider it a significant move toward a total boycott of Israeli settlements, which are built illegally on occupied Palestinian lands," says Saeb Erekat, a top aide to President Mahmoud Abbas and senior member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). It shows, he says, the EU is moving from statements to concrete actions. More such actions "are necessary to hold Israel accountable for the crimes it continues to commit against the land and people of Palestine," he says in a statement --SPA 19:39 LOCAL TIME 16:39 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
