IP - In an initiative, the EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell urged the EU foreign ministers to consider sanctions against Israeli ministers.

Iran Press/Europe: The EU foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell on Thursday told reporters that he will ask the bloc’s foreign ministers to consider sanctions against Israeli ministers, who have been launching “unacceptable hate messages against Palestinians.”

Borrell will urge the member states to impose sanctions on some Israeli ministers who have been “proposing things that go clearly against international law” and are an invitation to “commit war crimes.”

Israel's war against Hamas last October 7, killed more than 40,500 Palestinian deaths, mostly women and children, and over 93,700 injuries.

An ongoing blockade of Gaza has led to severe shortages of food, clean water, and medicine, leaving much of the region in ruins.

Israel faces accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which has ordered a halt to military operations in the southern city of Rafah, where over one million Palestinians had sought refuge before the area was invaded on May 6.
