Pro-Israel countries, including Germany and Italy, are set to block efforts by Ireland and other member states to take action against Israel over its war in Gaza at today’s summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
Several member states, also including Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary, will not agree for the EU to take action despite a recent review of an EU-Israel trade agreement that found Israel was committing human rights violations in conflict with it.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the EU’s inability to reach a unified position on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is a “huge stain” on the union.
That could be the one I was thinking of. I thought there were rumblings recently about passing it. It’s a fairly vague memory though so I definitely could be wrong.
Edit: just read through all of that page. Good God. Can they just get their fingers out.
