The European Commission has issued a package of proposals aimed at sanctioning Israel for its ongoing military assault in Gaza, as well as deepening occupation of the West Bank, which Brussels says breach the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The measures also include sanctions on ten members of the Hamas terrorist organisation and two "extremist" ministers in the Israeli government, Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich for their role inciting violence in the West Bank.
