EU fails to suspend Israel trade pact despite pressure over human rights concerns
The European Union has again failed to agree on suspending its association agreement with Israel despite mounting pressure.The deal provides extensive free trade and cooperation, but critics argue Israel may be breaching its human rights clause.
In 2025, the European Commission said there were indications of violations linked to civilian deaths in Gaza and restrictions on aid.
Spain and others pushed to uphold Article 2, urging action to defend international law, but failed to secure a majority.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas rejected claims the bloc is losing credibility.
More than one million citizens, along with UN experts and former diplomats, have called for suspending the agreement.
Key states including Germany and Italy opted to keep the pact, fuelling frustration over the EU’s inaction.
