the EU is secretly negotiating to hand all your data to Israel.

“Good day, spectators,

I have both read and written a load of stories about the European Union’s moral bankruptcy over the years but this one really was calling out for its own article. This one is the kind of story that should be on the front page of every newspaper in Europe but is instead buried in the investigative output of ‘Statewatch’, read by the people who already know the EU is rotten and ignored by everyone else, specifically those whose job it is to hold it to account.

But it will not be ignored by us.
…
The agreement was formally frozen in late 2022 following the legal objections. What Statewatch’s investigation reveals is that it did not stay frozen. Commission officials held at least seven meetings with Israeli diplomats between January 2023 and January 2026, including one with Israel’s then-foreign minister Eli Cohen in April 2023. When Statewatch asked the Commission about the current status of the negotiations, it refused to comment. When asked whether it had prepared a revised draft addressing the legal objections, it declined to answer. The Israeli embassy, foreign ministry, and police also declined to respond. Europol, for its part, described itself as a ‘passive observer’ in the negotiations while simultaneously hosting at least five Israeli delegations between August 2024 and March 2026, with meetings facilitated by Israel’s liaison officer to Europol and culminating in a visit from the Israeli ambassador to the Netherlands to Europol’s headquarters in The Hague in March of this year.”
