EU foreign ministers discuss potential sanctions against Israel following human rights discussions

EU foreign ministers had a big talk about possibly punishing Israel if it doesn't follow the rules. They discussed this at a meeting for the first time. The International Court of Justice said Israel needs to stop attacking a place called Rafah and let aid come in. The EU leaders didn't like the attacks. The EU ministers all agreed to have a meeting with Israel to talk about human rights. They want Israel to follow the rules set by the court. The EU is a big trading partner with Israel, so they have power to make Israel listen. The EU ministers are upset because Israel didn't stop attacking after the court's ruling. They saw pictures of terrible things happening in Rafah. The EU wants Israel to be accountable for what it's doing. Some countries in the EU want to put sanctions on Israel for not following the rules. They are very unhappy about the attacks on innocent people. The EU is trying to get more countries to support Palestine. The EU is the biggest donor to help the Palestinian people. They want to help build a strong Palestinian state. Some countries in the EU are not ready to support Palestine yet. But others are pushing for it. The EU wants Israel to stop its military actions in Rafah. They are calling on all countries to follow international laws. The EU is working to support the rulings of the International Court of Justice.
