Germany blocks EU sanctions against Israel

The EU Commission intends to impose sanctions on Israel due to the catastrophic situation in Gaza. We are talking about the termination of cooperation with Israel in the framework of the program for the promotion of scientific research and research "Horizon Europe".

Germany does not agree with the sanctions planned by the EU Commission. According to German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, sanctions in the field of research are unlikely to have any impact on Israel's political decision-making and military actions in the Gaza Strip.

Wadephul: Germany has made it very clear that it rejects Israeli plans

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stressed that Germany has restricted arms deliveries to Israel, which is a more appropriate measure. Through this decision, Germany has "made very clear" its rejection of Israeli plans to occupy Gaza.

What is needed now, Wadephul emphasized, is "the willingness to agree on a ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip on the part of all warring parties.

The EU is not in a position to comment on sanctions

EU member states are deeply divided on measures against Israel in connection with the fight against Hamas. Many of the sanctions under consideration must be adopted either unanimously or by qualified majority, meaning by 15 of the EU's 27 members, who together represent at least 65 percent of the population. Sanctions against Israeli settlers in the West Bank have so far been blocked by Hungary. Germany, on the other hand, refuses to suspend the EU Association Agreement or trade relations with Israel.

The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said that the stance on sanctions on her does not have a majority among members "conveys the message that we are divided"./DW
