EU Commission proposes sanctions against Israel over Gaza war

The European Commission proposed sanctions against Israel, including suspending free-trade arrangements, in response to the ongoing war in Gaza, although support among EU member states is lacking for adoption.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas announced sanctions targeting Israeli officials and Hamas members, stating that the aim is to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar criticized the EU proposal, claiming it empowers Hamas and undermines Israel's right to defend itself during ongoing hostilities.
