EU disagreements persist over Israel policy and sanctions

Significant disagreements persist within the European Union regarding its policy towards Israel, particularly concerning the potential imposition of sanctions. These internal tensions have led to a notable power struggle within EU institutions, specifically between European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the bloc's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas. The dispute centers on the conduct of EU foreign policy, with reports indicating that Kallas has emerged politically weakened from this latest episode. The ongoing debate underscores the deep divisions among member states on how to collectively address the conflict and its broader implications for the EU's international relations. Sources: Le Monde.
