EU foreign ministers meet to discuss sanctions on trade with Israeli West Bank settlements
EU foreign ministers convened in Brussels on July 14, 2026 to discuss possible measures to curb trade with Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including import licensing, prohibitive tariffs, or an outright ban. The European Commission drafted a paper outlining the options, and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the option with the most support was a trade ban. No formal decision was reached at the meeting, with ambassadors tasked to take the work forward.
