The UK has suspended trade negotiations with Israel as the EU contemplates reviewing existing agreements due to Israel's aggressive actions in Gaza, which have drawn criticism from allied nations. Both the UK and EU have begun imposing sanctions on Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. As military operations intensify and humanitarian conditions worsen for Palestinians, officials question why decisive action was not taken sooner. The efficacy of these measures in altering the status quo on the ground remains uncertain.
