According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Jose Manuel Alvarez, the Spanish government calls on the European Union to take three specific measures against Israel regarding its attacks on the people of Gaza. Madrid seeks to suspend the agreement on the connection “at least at the time of the war”, a request that considers “not excessive and not excessive”.
Foreign ministers are found on Tuesday in Brussels in the Council for Foreign Affairs, where 27 discusses the opportunity to take more measures against Tel Aviv for the Gaza war. Alvarez insisted that the embargo for sales of weapons to the country should be approved, as well as the inclusion in the fines of “those who want to undermine the decision of the state.”
The diplomatic pressure on Israel is during the period of growing instability in the region. As the military attack on Gaza continues, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon SE said on Monday that his country was not going to maintain control over the strips in the long run.
“We are not interested in the gas management after the end of the war,” he said, emphasizing that this is a priority to dismantle Hamas’s infrastructure, ensure the security of the border, and then surrender to the management of international or moderate Palestinian agencies.
Syrian blows exacerbate diplomatic stress with the EU
In the field, however, the situation continues to grow. On Monday, the Israeli army began the air raid in the south of Syria with the aim of combat tanks of the Bashar -Azad regime, among the fighters between government forces and opposition militias.
The Israeli bombardment was held near the border with the high intensity of Golan -Haylands and is part of a series of raids aimed at restricting the presence of Iran in the region.
These events confirm the argument of countries such as Spain that more sustainable changes are needed in relation to the EU to the Government of Netanyahu.
Although there are no immediate consensus between 27 EU countries, diplomatic sources say that several countries, such as Ireland and Belgium, will be ready to consider additional measures, while others, such as Germany and Hungary, are still reluctant. Despite this, the Spanish proposal can show the turning point in the EU foreign policy in the conflict in the Middle East.
