(thread of the European inaction in times of genocide)
"European Union member states have failed to agree on proposals to sanction Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.
Speaking at a #media conference on Monday, Kallas said that while “many” #EU states had proposed economic restrictions, “no consensus on that was reached today”.
Far-right minister Ben-Gvir has been criticised by several individual EU states for his treatment of activists aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla who were detained by Israeli soldiers as they tried to reach #Gaza last month.
However, efforts to impose sanctions on Ben-Gvir at EU level have met resistance. With unanimity required, the bid has failed to win full approval, Kallas said.
The EU’s chief diplomat did not outline which states had refused to agree to the proposal. However, #Germany, #Austria and the #CzechRepublic are understood to be among those in opposition."
Just note that Gvir is a convicted terrorist.

[Thread about the role of #EU on #GazaGenocide]
Slovenia’s top diplomat warned the European Union risked projecting a double standard if it failed to take Israel to task for the bloodshed in the #Gaza Strip even as it moves ahead with additional sanctions against #Russia.
Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of violating international law and committing “clear genocidal acts” and said that the #EU had failed to impose a “single real measure” against #Israel.
#Slovenia has sought to take a lead among #EU states in criticizing the spiraling toll. The country became the first member to ban all weapons trade with Israel at the end of July, weeks after it declared two Israeli cabinet members personae non gratae. It followed the measures with a ban on the trade of goods from occupied #Palestinian territories.
Fajon, a member of the EP from 2009 to 2022, said she pushed for an EU response on Gaza after a review of Israel’s cooperation agreement showed “clear” violations of international law, but member states deadlocked on reaching an agreement for taking action.
There is a sense “the whole international community failed a test of humanity,” she said.
