Right-wing NGO Monitor (Israel) has revealed that the European Union (EU) has started funding a project to support personal legal proceedings against army soldiers at the request of left-wing organizations.
According to a report published Sunday in Israel Hayom the Europeans have allocated about a quarter of a million euros to the plan by November 2019. The funding request is also open for subsequent years and according to the plan of Israeli leftist organizations it will continue until 2021.
The program called “A culture of impunity among Israeli security forces” was initiated by Yesh Din and is being carried out jointly with Physicians for Human Rights and Breaking the Silence.
According to these left-wing organizations Israel’s legal system is not capable of adequately investigating soldiers’ illegal practices against Palestinian residents and the military justice system grants almost complete impunity for Israeli soldiers and their behavior.
The European project will provide Palestinian Arab women with cameras that will document arrests and activities carried out by Israeli soldiers in the occupied Palestinian territories.
