Josep Borrell stated, 'I initiated the procedures in order to ask the member states if they consider appropriate, including in our list of sanctions some Israeli ministers [who have] been launching unacceptable hate messages against the Palestinians.' This emphasizes a potential shift in EU policy towards addressing perceived incitements against Palestinians.
Borrell criticized, 'The Israeli ministers have created international outrage after Smotrich suggested starving Gaza's population.' This highlights the extreme measures proposed by Israeli officials amidst ongoing tensions.
Diplomats indicated that 'it is unlikely that Borrell's call for sanctions...will gain the required unanimous agreement of all 27 members.' This suggests a significant divide within the EU regarding responses to Israeli actions.
