Israel Is Facing Unprecedented Pressure From Allies over Its War on Gaza. Can They Force It to Change Its Ways?
- On May 20, 2025, the EU announced a formal review of its Association Agreement with Israel over alleged human rights abuses linked to the Gaza war and aid blockade.
- The review was prompted by growing international concern about Israel's military offensive in Gaza since October 2023 and restrictions on humanitarian aid delivery.
- Seventeen of the 27 EU members, including Spain, France, Ireland, and the Netherlands, supported the review, while others like Hungary and Germany defended Israel's right to self-defense.
- The EU’s top diplomatic representative emphasized the dire conditions in Gaza and called for the swift and sizable delivery of humanitarian assistance, stressing the need to remove obstacles preventing aid from reaching those in need.
- The review signals a serious warning from Brussels that could lead to suspension of the pact, reflecting rising pressure on Israel and testing the EU's credibility as a global actor.
