Joseph Borrell sparked discussions among member states about the possibility of imposing sanctions on Israeli ministers. The talks are taking place against the background of growing concerns about statements directed against the Palestinians and proposals contrary to international law, reports News.bg.
As the EU's high representative for foreign policy and security, Borrell took a significant step by asking member states for their opinion on the inclusion of some Israeli ministers on the EU's sanctions list. Ministers are under surveillance for promoting hatred and proposals that do not conform to international norms.
During a meeting with EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Borrell stressed the need to address these issues, preferring not to reveal the identities of the Israeli ministers concerned. His actions demonstrate the EU's commitment to upholding international law and its readiness to take action against those who undermine peace efforts in the region. Discussions between member states are expected to lead to further decisions in this direction.
