"The three governments said Israel had taken a series of measures that contravene human rights and violate international law and international humanitarian law, adding that it breached the 1995 agreement that outlines political, economic and trade relations between the EU and Israel."
"They pointed to a proposed Israeli law that would impose the death penalty by hanging on Palestinians convicted in military courts, describing it as a grave violation of fundamental human rights and a further step in the systematic persecution, oppression, violence and discrimination faced by Palestinians."
"The ministers cited the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying conditions there were unbearable, with continuing violations of the ceasefire agreement and insufficient aid entering the territory."
Spain, Slovenia, and Ireland have formally requested the European Union to discuss suspending its association agreement with Israel. They argue that Israel's actions violate human rights and international law, particularly citing a proposed law imposing the death penalty on Palestinians. The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is described as unbearable, with ongoing ceasefire violations and inadequate aid. The three countries emphasize that the EU must uphold international law and human rights standards, warning that failure to act would be a defeat for the Union.
