In the absence of a majority to overturn the Association Agreement, Kallas advocates trade measures against Israel
Last September the European Commission proposed the suspension of certain trading points of the agreement, a decision which requires only a qualified majority and does not constitute a complete breach of the treaty.
The European Union's High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, acknowledged on Monday that some EU countries have put on the table the possibility of suspending the partnership agreement with Israel.
Indeed, last Friday, Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia called for a formal debate on the partnership agreement with Israel, a request that would put "all actions on the table" in response to the measures and actions taken by Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
In September, the European Commission proposed suspending certain trading points ofthe partnership agreement with Israel, a decision which requires only a qualified majority and does not constitutea complete breach of the treaty.
He also proposed punishing two of Netanyahu's ministers, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, and several violent settlers, which would require unanimous approval.
Brussels hosted a new Global Alliance meeting on Monday to establish a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine, promoted by the EU and the Arab countries at a UN General Assembly in September 2024 with the aim of promoting and advancing the creation of a Palestinian state.
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohamed Mustafa and EU Special Envoy for the Middle East peace process Christophe Bigot also attended.
In addition, Kallas chaired the Ad Hoc Liaison Commission for Palestine on Monday with Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide, who coordinates international assistance to the Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority.
Political representatives have met more than six months after the beginning of the truce that entered into force on 10 October in the Gaza Strip, but in practice this does not mean that Israel has abandoned its attacks on the Palestinians, nor that food and other necessities such as medicines have ceased to be lacking.
