The European Union is weighing the suspension of Israeli access to research funding amid the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
While some EU member states view the move as a necessary step, others argue it either doesn’t go far enough or already overreaches.
Since late May, more than 1,000 people have died trying to reach humanitarian aid in Gaza, according to United Nations figures.
These staggering losses have intensified European calls for Israel to ease its blockade and lift stringent restrictions on aid delivery.
In response, the European Commission on Monday proposed halting Israel’s participation in select parts of Horizon Europe – the bloc’s flagship program for research and innovation funding.
