00:00The European Commission on Wednesday proposed to suspend free trade agreements on Israeli goods
00:05due to the war in Gaza, even though the measure does not currently have sufficient support
00:09among the European Union's member countries to pass.
00:13EU Foreign Policy Chief Kajakalas also proposed a package of sanctions on two Israeli ministers
00:18as well as violent settlers and Hamas members.
00:21The proposals followed EU Executive Chief Ursula von der Leyen's announcement last week
00:26on a new package of measures on Israel over war in Gaza.
00:30Today, in the College, we also addressed the war in Gaza.
00:36Israel's push, Israeli government's push into Gaza City is a new escalation of the war
00:43and will further deepen the humanitarian crisis.
00:47Today, I presented a robust package of sanctions of Hamas terrorists,
00:54extremist ministers in the Israeli government and violent settlers
00:58and entities supporting the impunity going on in the West Bank.
01:04The Commission adopted a proposal to partially suspend trade concessions.
01:10Commissioner Sefkiewicz will update you on the trade details in a minute.
01:15And I want to be very clear.
01:17The aim is not to punish Israel.
01:20The aim is to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
01:25All member states agree that the situation in Gaza is untenable.
01:30The war needs to end.
01:32The suffering must stop and all hostages must be released.
01:36We must use all the tools we have towards this outcome.
01:40We must also not lose sight of the dangerous developments in the West Bank
01:45that reduce the viability of a two-state solution.
01:48The future of must be pregunting on may Abraham.
01:53And with gestures to thebekau of a two-state solution.
01:55Just think of this and during the time it will prioritize a person somewhere,
02:00which is not taken to crimes where authorities must fail.
02:02And for거�ess it is a topic that allows us to clutch our damnhomme in Gaza.
02:05This approach will nucarem the police to suspect.
02:10So,きたかった past where we have the United Nations Kingdoms
02:13has really high priority and on clean or local stuff.
