EU Commission chief says she will propose new measures targeting Israel

BRUSSELS: The European Commission will propose sanctioning extremist Israeli ministers and a partial suspension of the European Union’s association agreement with Israel, targeting trade-related matters, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday. In a State of the Union speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, von der Leyen also said that the Commission will put its bilateral support for Israel on hold, without affecting work with Israeli civil society and Yad Vashem, Israel’s main Holocaust memorial center.
