Kallas has outlined 10 potential measures after Israel was found to have breached its human rights commitments under a cooperation agreement. Options include suspending the deal, limiting trade, imposing sanctions on ministers, an arms embargo, or halting visa-free travel. But despite rising anger over Gaza, EU countries remain divided, and no action was agreed at a meeting in Brussels.
