US EditionJohn Swinney Addresses Scottish Absence at Israel 'Collective Action' Conference
GAZA STRIP, PALESTINE, JUL 15 – The European Union uses a humanitarian aid deal with Israel to avoid direct political action amid stalled Gaza cease-fire talks, while humanitarian agencies call for restored aid management.
- On July 15, 2025, the European Union signed a humanitarian aid agreement with Israel, omitting sanctions against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
- Since October 7, 2023, Hamas's attack prompted Israel to begin a military campaign in the Gaza Strip, following the first-stage agreement that halted hostilities.
- These negotiations hinge on Hamas’s demands: the guarantee of a pathway to end the campaign; Palestinians' demand for Israeli withdrawal to pre-March 18 positions; and Hamas's insistence that aid revert to UN agencies, Norwegian Refugee Council, and World Central Kitchen.
- Scottish officials declined representation, citing reserved constitutional powers, and `the suffering in Gaza is unconscionable`, John Swinney said on Wednesday.
- As multilateral sanctions efforts expand, the July 15–16 meeting in Bogota will build on earlier work by The Hague Group, launched in January to impose sanctions on Israel.
