‘[…] There now seems to be movement on what action the EU can take: the partial suspension of Horizon Research does not require the support of all 27 countries. For that, a “qualified majority” of member states is sufficient. That means 55 per cent of member states must agree. These countries must represent at least 65 per cent of the EU population.’

    Meagre sanctions. The Dutch prime minister has also said Smotrich and Ben-Gvir have been declared persona-non-grata in the Netherlands, and the Netherlands may also aim for a suspension of the trade part of the EU association agreement with Israel.

    I just hope pressure remains, and after this genocide Israel will be a pariah state. I have to say I doubt that’ll happen, though. I think it’s more likely the west will start to pass actual sanctions and harshly criticise Israel, but as time passes after some form of ‘stability’ as it existed before has taken shape again, the west will take a ‘bygones be bygones’ stance.

    This can only be prevented with public pressure. Our elites clearly love Israel for some reason.
