EU’s Borrell Proposes Suspension of Dialogue with Israel Amid Gaza Violations Concerns
In a bold move ahead of the EU Foreign Ministers’ meeting, EU Foreign Affairs Chief Joseph Borrell has suggested suspending political dialogue with Israel due to concerns over potential violations of humanitarian law in Gaza. However, diplomatic sources indicate that gaining unanimous support from member states is unlikely, making the proposal’s success doubtful. While Borrell’s initiative reflects growing internal EU criticism of Israel’s actions, countries like Hungary and the Czech Republic remain supportive of Israel. The EU’s partnership agreement remains intact for now, as discussions will continue amidst rising tensions.
