EU court: Hamas should be removed from terror lists
Quote:
Hamas should be removed from the EU's terrorism blacklist, a top European Court of Justice (ECJ) advisor has recommended.
In 2014, the court ruled that the Palestinian Islamist movement should be taken off the list on technical grounds.
Judges of the General Court ruled that EU leaders relied too heavily on media reports rather than their own investigations when they imposed asset freezes and travel bans on Hamas members.
At the time, Israel recalled Europe's treatment of Jews in the Holocaust and denounced the bloc's "staggering hypocrisy".
