A European Commission proposal to deny Israel partial access to the EU’s €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund failed to garner the necessary qualified majority support when EU ambassadors met in Brussels on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
Both Germany and Italy said they needed more time and would let the EU know if they come to a different position in the coming weeks, according to two sources familiar.
The Netherlands, Ireland, France, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Portugal, Malta and Spain all supported the Commission’s plan with several saying they would also push the EU for stronger sanctions, potentially in trade, the sources said.
The Commission’s motion to suspend Israel’s participation in Horizon is in response to an EU report finding the country had breached human rights obligations in the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
Disagreements over Zionist war crimes are tearing the entire world apart.
“We need some more time to decide if we are cool with the genocide or not”. Fucking cowards
Yeah EU (specifically Germany) is hell bent on allowing Israel to continue it’s Genocide, at least to a level that allows them to ease their Holocaust guilt.
“The Palestinians need to die for our sins” - Germans.
The Germans have never felt a shred of guilt over the Holocaust and Lebensraum. They only made up justifications, like their “guilt pride” stuff, as they moved along to fund, aid, abett and get directly involved in the 80+ years settler-colony over Indigenous people.
Once they and their European contemporaries were happy with their white-to-juden population ratio, they simply transferred over their internal policy to foreign policy.
Oh look the two axis powers support the modern day Nazis what a surprise
