EU Court: Food Made In Palestinian Territories Must Be Labeled As Such

The EU mandates that products from Israeli settlements be labeled as originating from Palestinian territories, following a 2015 recommendation. This decision, binding across all EU countries, aims to increase transparency regarding Israel's occupation. The EU opposes Israeli settlement expansion, citing violations of international law. Israel disputes these claims, with Foreign Minister Israel Katz criticizing the EU's decision as politically motivated. Despite this, the EU's labeling requirement seeks to prevent consumer misinformation about the origin of these products.

Why does the court believe labeling is necessary for products from the Palestinian territories?

What argument did Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz make against the court's ruling?
