An EU proposal to suspend Israel from a research funding program due to the Gaza humanitarian crisis failed to pass. Germany and Italy blocked the proposal, needing a qualified majority of 15 EU members representing at least 65% of the population. While some countries supported the suspension citing Israel's insufficient humanitarian aid, others requested more time to assess the situation, particularly after Israel announced measures to increase aid flow. Israel's Foreign Ministry condemned the proposal, viewing it as detrimental to ceasefire efforts and hostage release.
