The EU has been criticised for pausing sanctions against Israel’s government in response to Donald Trump’s peacemaking efforts in the Middle East, as the fragile ceasefire came under threat.

After meeting EU foreign ministers on Monday, the European foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, announced a pause on efforts to suspend preferential trade with Israel and sanctions against people responsible for fuelling the conflict on both sides

    All the effort Taco is doing is towards enriching himself. And even that is done by his staff. So they announce peace, continue killing and everybody just forgets genocide? Bravo (/s)

      Just forget about Israel still killing people in the West Bank (and in Gaza) please.

      The EU is a subservient to Israel. They never put on sanctions and now drop their threats at the earliest fake opportunity.

    Yeah. I honestly have no idea why everyone got all excited about this in the first place. Israel hasn’t honored any agreements up till now…so, why would this time be any different?

    They was sanctions on settlers not Israel to begin with. The EU is fine with settler colonialism
