This is announced by the spokesperson Paula Pinho.
This is about abolishing certain trade clauses and introducing sanctions against the most extreme Israeli government representatives and against violent settlers, writes Politico.
Already at the end of June, the EU's Foreign Minister Kaja Kallas stated that Israel's actions in Gaza constitute a breach of the conditions in the cooperation agreement the country has with the EU. But so far, the union has not managed to agree on joint measures.
The biggest obstacle is Germany. For Berlin, the legacy of the Second World War's Nazi Jewish extermination still weighs heavily, which makes it extremely difficult for the country to act against Israel.
If the country does not agree to Wednesday's sanction proposal, Kallas will press the Germans to present alternative proposals, she tells Euronews:
If Germany had agreed to something a couple of years ago, or if they do it now, it would actually put pressure on Israel, which may lead to a less serious situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.
