The Ma’an News Network has been the recipient of millions of dollars of grants from European sources over the years, including a donation of hundreds of thousands of euros from the EU earmarked for 2016-2019 for “Leveraging Media Initiatives to Promote Participatory Engagement in the Peace Process.”
I don’t know about funding for 2020, because Ma’an is not transparent about its funding sources, but Ma’an certainly does not even pretend to support peace with Israel today.
An editorial last week said:
Whatever Netanyahu does… and whatever he says
However he begs… and however he threatens
We will not relinquish the idea of one-state
Farewell to the past
Farewell to area A
Farewell to half-solutions
We are coming, oh Tel-Aviv
That sounds pretty explicitly against peace – and against the agenda of the EU.
