The European Commission has proposed partially suspending Israel's participation in the EU's flagship Horizon Europe research and innovation program, citing Israel's actions and restrictions on humanitarian aid in Gaza. This unprecedented move marks the first time the EU has considered sanctions against Israel in response to the ongoing conflict and humanitarian situation in Gaza. The proposal targets funding for Israeli start-ups and military-related research, but still requires approval from a majority of EU member states before implementation. The decision has sparked diplomatic tensions, with Israel condemning the move as unjustified and some European leaders, such as the Dutch and Slovenian prime ministers, supporting the sanctions. The debate highlights growing European frustration with Israel's conduct in Gaza and signals increasing international pressure for policy changes.
