Summary
An investigation reveals that agricultural products (dates, tahini, oranges) from Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank are being exported to the European Union labeled as "Made in Israel," bypassing EU regulations. Despite a 2005 technical arrangement requiring Israeli exporters to list postal codes of production sites, goods from settlements are entering Europe disguised as Israeli products. This comes as the EU attempts to crack down on settler violence and enforce labeling rules that distinguish between Israeli and settlement-produced goods.
