EU weighs options to pressure Israel over Gaza but remains divided
In this episode of W News Extra, presented by Jono Hayes, we report on EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas saying the bloc is keeping the door open to possible action against Israel over the war in Gaza, if the humanitarian crisis worsens. Kallas has outlined 10 potential measures after Israel was found to have breached its human rights commitments under a cooperation agreement. Options include suspending the deal, limiting trade, imposing sanctions on ministers, an arms embargo, or halting visa-free travel. But despite rising anger over Gaza, EU countries remain divided, and no action was agreed at a meeting in Brussels.
