JUST IN: EU TO PROPOSE MEASURES AGAINST ISRAEL OVER GAZA
The EU will present a list of five possible measures against Israel next week over its actions in Gaza, including trade restrictions, sanctions, and a possible arms embargo.
However, deep divisions among member states make action unlikely.
An internal review found “indications of human rights breaches” in Israel’s EU trade deal. The proposals, to be discussed on July 15, mark the first formal response of their kind.
Israel has called the review “outrageous,” while the EU says the aim is to change behavior on the ground, not punishment.
