Today we are presenting our proposals to the Council to suspend trade concessions with Israel and to place sanctions on extremist ministers of the Israeli government and on violent settlers.

The horrific events taking place in Gaza on a daily basis must stop. There needs to be an immediate ceasefire, unrestrained access for all humanitarian aid, and the release of all hostages held by Hamas.

A blue graphic titled "PROPOSALS TO THE COUNCIL" in white and yellow text.

The text lists proposals regarding the EU's relationship with Israel:

Suspension of certain trade-related provisions of the Association Agreement between the EU and Israel.

Sanctions against Hamas, extremist ministers of the Israeli government and violent settlers.

The graphic also states: "We are also putting on hold bilateral support to Israel, with the exception of support to civil society and Yad Vashem."

The logo for the European Commission is in the bottom right corner.
