EU foreign ministers have rejected a proposal to partially suspend the European Union's association agreement with Israel. The measure was tabled by Ireland, Spain, and Slovenia but did not receive enough backing from other member states. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated the proposals remain on the table but require a shift in member states' positions to come into force, adding that discussions will continue. The bloc remains split on imposing sanctions on Israel, despite some members criticizing its actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
