More than 60 percent of people in Europe believe the EU should suspend free trade with Israel enabled by the EU-Israel Association Agreement and uphold human rights, a poll released by corporate watchdog Eko shows.
The polling, which was conducted by YouGov from 5 to 10 June, found broad public support for the idea in all surveyed countries.
Even in Hungary, Israel's staunchest European ally, only 39 percent of respondents opposed the suspension of trade with Israel. The results are even lower in France (29 percent), the Netherlands (27 percent) and Belgium (23 percent).
