EU foreign ministers meeting in Ireland failed to reach agreement on imposing trade sanctions on Israel or on providing further military support for Ukraine, reflecting persistent divisions among member states. The deadlock leaves the bloc without a unified position on Israel policy despite mounting pressure from some members to act. The failure to agree comes amid broader diplomatic friction between European governments and Israel, including separate threats of unilateral sanctions from the UK, underscoring the EU's difficulty in forging a common approach to the conflict.
