Brussels: The European Union condemned Tuesday Israel's approval of a "discriminatory" bill allowing the execution of Palestinians convicted on terror charges for deadly attacks.
"The death penalty bill in Israel is very concerning to us in the EU. This is a clear step backwards -- the introduction of the death penalty, together with the discriminatory nature of the law," EU spokesman Anouar El Anouni told journalists in Brussels.
