The genocidal state of Israel has built a structured trade pipeline carrying produce grown in its illegal colonial settlements on stolen Palestinian land into European markets under false Israeli origin labels, converting customs abuse into revenue for colonial settlement expansion, territorial plunder, and terrorist settler militias.

Dimitri Diliani, spokesperson for Fateh’s Reformist Democratic Faction, said: “Global Echo, the legal nonprofit that conducted the investigation, examined more than 30,000 export documents across 8 years and found that 1 in 6 shipments contained agricultural goods from illegal Israeli colonial settlements in occupied Palestine and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, with at least 42% mislabelled as Israeli-grown. This is commercial laundering of land theft executed by the genocidal state of Israel.”

Diliani added: “The EU accounts for 31.7% of Israel’s total goods trade and receives 29.4% of its exports. The investigation identified €13m in mislabelled settlement goods in the sample alone. Europe’s market and customs failures are feeding Israel’s colonial settlement economy.”

“Bezalel Smotrich’s 2024 boast that Israel is ‘erasing the Green Line through agriculture’ supplies the clearest admission of state intent,” Diliani said. “The Green Line is the 1949 armistice boundary, and Smotrich’s words identify Israeli settlement agriculture in the occupied West Bank as a state weapon of annexation and ethnic cleansing: the genocidal state of Israel steals our land, plants its colonial economy on it, falsifies its origin, and sells its produce abroad as Israeli commerce.”

Fateh’s Reformist Democratic Faction called on the European Union to end all settlement trade, recover evaded tariffs, and enforce the ICJ’s 19 July 2024 advisory opinion against the state of Israel’s unlawful presence in our occupied land.
