The EU is reviewing its association agreement with Israel due to concerns about the situation in Gaza. This initiative, led by the Netherlands and supported by several EU countries, aims to pressure Israel to lift the humanitarian blockade. The review, focusing on Article 2 of the agreement, is a significant diplomatic move signaling the EU's serious concerns. While initial support within the EU was uncertain, High Representative Kaja Kallas has now initiated the review process, emphasizing the need for a ceasefire, hostage release, and humanitarian aid.
