EU Foreign Ministers Fail to Agree on Sanctions Against Israel and Further Military Support for Ukraine

European Union foreign ministers, meeting in Ireland, reached an 'impasse' on imposing trade sanctions on Israel amid escalating settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory, with Ireland and Spain advocating for curbs on goods from illegal settlements. Simultaneously, the ministers failed to bridge divisions on providing additional military support to Ukraine, despite Kyiv's appeals for more air defense systems as Russia intensifies its aerial campaign.
