It is business as usual in EU-Israeli relations, while Italy's call for a proposal to ban settler imports sounds like more hot air than a real change of heart.

Germany and the Czech Republic are blocking all sanctions on Israel, while Italy sits on the fence, even though EU leaders will repeatedly “condemn” Israeli aggression at next week’s summit.

This meant there would be no visa ban on Israeli security minister Itmar Ben-Gvir, which needed EU27 consensus, despite his personal brutality toward EU nationals on an aid flotilla to Gaza in May.

    In my proposal, the Palestinians in Gaza would leave and live in an equivalent area adjacent to the West Bank. The purpose is to make the Palestinian occupied area continuous. So, you are saying that the Palestinians would prefer living under the Israelis. That’s a compliment to Israel. Also, the Palestinians must be confident that Israel won’t displace them.
