The EU has initiated a review of its cooperation deal with Israel, while Britain has halted trade talks, reflecting a tougher stance on the Gaza war. France reiterated its intention to recognize a Palestinian state, following criticism of Israel’s military actions from multiple European nations, including a call for humanitarian aid to Gaza. EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas noted that a majority of member states support this review under human rights considerations, with growing diplomatic pressure on Israel amid ongoing military offensives.
