The lack of agreement among European Union member states has prevented the imposition of sanctions on Israel for human rights violations in Gaza. During the meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas confirmed that, although the humanitarian situation in the Strip remains critical, there is currently no common stance to impose penalties on Netanyahu’s government.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar confidently told his counterparts in Brussels that the EU would not take sanctioning measures against his country, a statement that was confirmed by the outcome of the summit. Instead, the Twenty-Seven opted to establish a biweekly monitoring mechanism to assess progress on the agreement aimed at increasing the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
This agreement seeks to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian population without affecting diplomatic relations with Israel, reflecting the political complexities surrounding the conflict. Meanwhile, the critical situation in the Strip continues to put pressure on the EU to find effective and consensual solutions among its members.
