A Palestinian man who was dismissed from his job in Gaza after the war broke out is suing the European Union for allegedly breaching Belgian law.
He had been evacuated to Cairo after the war broke out with the assistance of the EU and continued to work there, as did other colleagues in the West Bank.
But he was dismissed this year after the EU decided to close the office in Rafah due to the war.
In the claim submitted to a Brussels tribunal, his lawyer, Selma Benkhelifa, states that Baraka “does not criticise the decision to close the Rafah office” as “the security situation justifies this”.
However, she states that his EU counterparts, who also worked for EUBam in Rafah, “were not dismissed, they were transferred elsewhere” to continue work, giving alleged grounds for “discrimination on the basis of his nationality.”
