Germany and Italy have rejected calls to suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement, despite pressure from some member states over Israel's actions in Lebanon and the West Bank. The issue was raised by Spain and Ireland during an EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg, where they advocated for suspending the 1995 pact. Germany's representative Wadephul dismissed the proposal, while French President Emmanuel Macron has previously threatened to cut the agreement. The split among EU members highlights ongoing divisions over how to respond to Israel's military operations and settlement policies.
