Josep Borrell, the EU’s foreign affairs chief, is contemplating the suspension of political dialogue with Israel due to potential human rights violations in Gaza. In a letter to EU foreign ministers, Borrell raised serious concerns regarding humanitarian law breaches, suggesting that Israel has not adequately addressed these issues. This move, which would activate a human rights clause in the EU-Israel association agreement, requires unanimous agreement from all 27 EU member states—a consensus that appears unlikely. Meanwhile, pro-Palestinian protests in Amsterdam have led to multiple arrests as demonstrators defy a ban on gatherings.
