The European Commission's proposal to impose penalties on Israel for violations of human rights and humanitarian law is currently stalled due to disagreements among EU member states. Germany is seeking additional time for review, which is crucial for advancing the plan. The EU condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis, including widespread malnutrition among children. In an unprecedented move, the EU proposed barring Israeli startups from accessing EU research funding as a form of pressure. A qualified majority among the 27 member states is needed for the proposal to proceed.
Humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached unimaginable levels, with famine unfolding before our eyes, according to the EU's executive.
With its intervention in the Gaza Strip and the ensuing humanitarian catastrophe, including thousands of civilian deaths and rapidly rising numbers of spreading extreme malnutrition specifically of children, Israel is violating human rights and humanitarian law.
