The European Union is poised to intensify pressure on Israel if significant improvements are not seen for Gaza's inhabitants, as stated by foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. Following a meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels, it was highlighted that Israel has violated its human rights obligations in both Gaza and the West Bank. Calls for measures such as reviewing the EU-Israel association agreement have intensified, especially from nations like Spain which has also suggested an arms embargo. The EU is at a crossroads concerning its diplomatic stance with Israel amid humanitarian crises in Palestine.
The EU may take action to increase pressure on Israel unless there are concrete improvements for the inhabitants of Gaza, according to its foreign policy chief.
If the situation for Palestinians does not improve, the EU might discuss further measures and revisit this issue in July.
The EU's relationship with Israel was discussed after a report found indications of human rights breaches amid the crisis in Gaza.
