Israel's actions in Gaza are under EU review for potential violations of a cooperation agreement. Israel's submission to the EU highlights the existential threat posed by Hamas and Iran, citing the October 7th attacks. Israel strongly condemns the EU's consideration of a review, deeming it morally distorted and unjustified. The EU's foreign affairs representative will present findings to ministers on Monday, prompting a decision on further action. This comes amid heightened Middle East tensions following US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
