EU's top diplomat mulls suspending dialogue with Israel: Report

The European Union's top foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has proposed that the bloc suspend political dialogue with Israel, citing possible human rights violations from its war on Gaza, according to Reuters. 

Writing to EU foreign ministers Borrell cited "serious concerns about possible breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza" and said "thus far, these concerns have not been sufficiently addressed by Israel".

The EU and Israel have an official mechanism for political dialogue that includes trade relations. 

"In light of the above considerations, I will be tabling a proposal that the EU should invoke the human rights clause to suspend the political dialogue with Israel," Borrell wrote.
