The European Union's review suggests Israel may have violated human rights obligations through actions in Gaza, including blockades and attacks, straining EU-Israeli relations. Israel rejects the findings, citing security concerns, amid broader tensions involving Iran and US military actions. The situation complicates diplomatic efforts and potential sanctions, with divisions among EU member states.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has proposed suspending political dialogue with Israel over alleged human rights violations in Gaza, a move likely to be vetoed by EU member states due to divisions over the Israel-Hamas conflict. Borrell's proposal aims to signal discontent with Israel's actions and compel member states to clarify their positions. The proposal is based on the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which includes human rights provisions, and follows a previous call by Spain and Ireland for an urgent review of the agreement.
