Alongside over sixty European organisations and trade unions, we urge European leaders to adopt long overdue measures and immediately suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The EU–Israel Association Agreement isn’t unconditional. It includes a binding clause that makes respect for human rights an “essential element” of the deal — meaning the EU has the legal basis to suspend it if those obligations are breached.
EU officials have already raised serious concerns about war crimes in Gaza. Now, with Israel moving to bring back executions, that breach is becoming even harder to ignore.
