"ספרד וחברותיה רצו להטיל סנקציות על סמוטריץ' ובן גביר. אבל לא היה לזה רוב"

הערכה

A European diplomatic push to sanction Israeli ministers Smotrich and Ben Gvir failed to secure majority support in the EU, revealing internal divisions over how to address Israeli government policy. Instead, the bloc is focusing sanctions on violent settlers, a narrower target that avoids direct confrontation with the Israeli government. The episode underscores the gap between European rhetoric and actionable consensus, and signals that future sanctions will remain limited to individual actors rather than official state figures.
