European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has proposed the EU’s trade agreement with Israel be suspended, in protest over the catastrophic conditions caused by its ongoing war in Gaza.
In a speech to the European Parliament, Dr von der Leyen said the European Union cannot afford to be paralysed in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the war-torn Palestinian enclave.
