BRUSSELS (Dispatches) -- The European Union (EU) has withheld millions of euros in annual aid from the Palestinian Authority, after Hungary’s EU delegate accused school textbooks of containing “antisemitism”, according to Haaretz.

Oliver Varhelyi, a Hungarian diplomat and the commissioner for neighborhood and enlargement in Brussels, has proposed that aid to the PA requires the removal of “antisemitism and incitement” elements in textbooks allegedly taught in Palestinian schools.
