Occupation, displacement and war crimes: according to the UN, radical Israelis in the West Bank are violating international law.
Violence against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem has escalated in the run-up to high-stakes elections in Israel. Israeli settlers have also attacked journalists and an EU delegation. Now the question of whether the EU should suspend trade ties with Israel is once again on the table. But with stark divisions among member states, the EU is in paralysis and faces increasing criticism for its failure to act.
