European Commission Proposes Curbs on Trade with Israel over Gaza Assault

HeadlineSep 18, 2025

In Brussels, the European Commission on Wednesday submitted a proposal to suspend the EU’s trade agreement with Israel and to sanction far-right Israeli Cabinet members Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, as well as 10 Hamas members. This is Kaja Kallas, vice-president of the European Commission.

Kaja Kallas: “The aim is not to punish Israel. The aim is to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza. All member states agree that the situation in Gaza is untenable. The war needs to end, the suffering must stop, and all hostages must be released. We must use all the tools we have towards this outcome.”
