Israel's leadership strongly objected to the European Union's decision to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers for violence against Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the EU on Monday and accused it of moral decline. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir similarly spoke out against the sanctions, labeling the European Union antisemitic. svet.sme.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
In a sharp response, Ben Gvir declared that the settler movement would not be intimidated and would continue building, planting, defending, and settling throughout the entire territory of Israel. The head of Israeli diplomacy, Gideon Saar, also objected to the bloc's decision. The foreign ministers of the EU member states reached a political agreement on Monday to impose sanctions on Israeli settlers who, according to Brussels' interpretation, are responsible for violence against the Palestinian population. teraz.sk ↗ aktuality.sk ↗
The EU's decision represents one of the bloc's toughest steps yet against Israeli settlement policy. However, Israel's leadership rejects the sanctions and points out that settlement activity is part of Israel's security strategy. The conflict between Israel and the European Union is thus continuing to deepen after months of tension surrounding Israeli military operations. pravda.sk ↗
