EU agrees Israeli settlements are illegal and considers sanctions. Israel-Indonesia normalization by December 31, 2026 at 9% YES.

Pressure from EU member states to impose sanctions has increased in recent months amid escalating settler violence.

Foreign ministers' meeting comes months after the EU imposed sanctions on Israel over West Bank settlement construction.

The EU’s foreign policy chief said the options are not against Israel but against illegal settlements that undermine the two-state solution.

"The option that got the most support was banning trade with illegal settlements," said EU foreign affairs chief Kallas, after talks with the 27 foreign ministers on Monday.

Kallas says a ban receives the most support among representatives of the EU's 27 member states, but diplomats say there is no clear majority for any single option.
