In a recent meeting, the leaders of the European Union's 27 member countries strongly demanded an immediate ceasefire in the conflict-stricken Gaza region. The call came amid ongoing tensions, and the EU underscored the need for the unconditional release of hostages.
Additionally, fresh concerns have emerged regarding Israel's adherence to its human rights commitments under a critical agreement with the EU. The EU's diplomatic service suggested possible breaches by Israel, escalating the situation.
The European Council has requested a comprehensive review of Israel's compliance with the EU-Israel Association Agreement. The results will inform further discussions scheduled for July 2025, which will take into account the evolving geopolitical landscape.
