In a significant development, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has urged the bloc's 27 member states to consider imposing sanctions on certain Israeli ministers for their "unacceptable hate messages" against Palestinians. Borrell, backed by Ireland, called for a review of EU-Israel relations as casualties mount in Gaza and the West Bank. He accused the ministers, without naming them, of making statements that violate international law and incite war crimes. Ireland and Spain have expressed support for sanctions, while Germany remains hesitant. Borrell also criticized the Netanyahu government for prioritizing its "colonial agenda" in the West Bank over peace efforts in Gaza. As the EU's influence over Israel remains limited despite being the largest donor to Palestinians, the bloc faces growing pressure to reassess its ties with Israel amid the escalating conflict.
