Sweden Urges EU Sanctions Against Israeli Ministers Amid Gaza Conflict
Following Israel’s intensified offensive in Gaza and continued humanitarian crisis, Sweden’s foreign minister announced her country will advocate for EU sanctions against specific Israeli ministers. These sanctions will target officials deemed responsible for illegal settlement policies and opposition to a two-state solution. While emphasizing Sweden’s friendship with Israel, the minister cited a lack of improvement in Gaza’s civilian situation as the impetus for this action. The minister also stressed Sweden’s consistent calls for increased humanitarian access to Gaza.
