Kaja Kallas cere Uniunii Europene să trateze așezările israeliene ca pe teritoriile ocupate de Rusia

Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, advocates for a trade ban on illegal Israeli settlements, likening them to Russia's Crimea occupation. She argues that the EU should adopt a principled stance against trade with occupied territories. Israel's mission to the EU criticized her comments, especially given the timing near the Jewish New Year. Kallas has long supported sanctions, but the European Commission has not yet proposed such measures. While some EU countries back restrictions, others, like the Czech Republic, oppose new sanctions, complicating consensus among member states. Recently, several EU nations joined the UK and Canada in imposing trade sanctions on Israeli settlements.
