'Moral bankruptcy': Netanyahu slams EU for sanctioning Israelis alongside Hamas
Prime Minister Netanyahu condemns the EU after it announces sanctions against Israelis and Hamas alike.
Assessment
Netanyahu's condemnation underscores growing tensions between Israel and the EU over the latter's perceived equivalence between a sovereign state's actions and a terrorist group's atrocities. The sanctions risk deepening diplomatic rifts, potentially affecting EU-Israel trade and political cooperation. Watch for Israel's potential retaliatory measures and whether this widens the divide in Western support for Israel.
