Gaza letter from the Austrian diplomats is part of a large EU debate

With the letter of 26 high -ranking diplomats and diplomats, which the Federal Government call for a harder gait towards Israel, a debate that has been smoldering for months has also reached the European level. The 27 EU countries are divided when it comes to the question of whether in view of the humanitarian catastrophe that Israel’s warfare has triggered in the Gaza Strip, the Union’s relationships with the Jewish state are to be restricted. The focus is on whether the association agreement with Israel, which has been enabled for 25 years, is to be exposed to customs benefits, research collaborations and a close political dialogue.
