(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.
