The European Commission has proposed partially suspending Israel's participation in the EU's flagship Horizon research and development program, citing Israel's handling of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This marks the first time the EU has considered sanctions of this kind against Israel, reflecting growing frustration over the lack of aid access and ongoing conflict. The proposal targets funding for Israeli start-ups, especially those with military applications, and still requires approval from a majority of EU member states. Israel has condemned the move as unjustified and politically motivated, while tensions have escalated with individual EU countries, such as the Netherlands, imposing travel bans on Israeli ministers. The decision signals increasing European pressure on Israel to change its approach in Gaza or face further diplomatic and economic consequences.
