Borrell and 500 former EU officials urge suspending Israel trade deal
Original: Borrell y otros 500 excargos europeos piden suspender la parte comercial del Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel Borrell y
Josep Borrell, the EU's former foreign policy chief, has joined around 500 other former European officials in calling for the suspension of the trade section of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. The appeal argues that Israel's conduct in Gaza breaches the human rights clause underpinning the pact, renewing debate inside Europe over whether the bloc should impose commercial consequences on Israel.
Why now: Renewed pressure over the Gaza war and EU-Israel relations has pushed the issue back to the top of the political debate.
