The EU-Israel Association Agreement was signed when Israel's track record of human rights violations was already well known. Hence it has been a disgrace ab initio.
EU regulations do not supersede/override intl law obligations especially when intl crimes are apparent.
The only dignified move from the EU, while Israel is accused of multiple intl crimes, is to suspend the agreement in full.
If not, member states should consider unilateral measures in order not to be implicated in aiding and abetting the commission of intl crimes.

On 15 July, EU Foreign Ministers will decide how to respond to Israel’s breach of human rights obligations.

Kaja Kallas’ options paper includes 6 measures:

1️⃣ Full suspension of the EU-Israel Agreement (unanimity – blocked by 🇭🇺🇨🇿🇦🇹)
2️⃣ Suspend trade, arms, Horizon Europe (QMV – blocked unless 🇩🇪🇮🇹 agree)
3️⃣ Maintain status quo for Israeli “gestures”
4️⃣ Sanction extremist ministers (Smotrich, Ben Gvir – unanimity)
5️⃣ Expand settler blacklist (unanimity – veto risk)
6️⃣ Russia-style sanctions (not seriously considered)
All legally possible. Politically fragile.
Will the EU act, or be complicit?
