While past EU sanctions on Israel have stalled due to the need for unanimous approval, Kallas argues this settlement-specific measure could succeed with just a majority, making it politically feasible. Though the economic impact is minimal, she insists the move sends a vital symbolic message — one increasingly supported by member states, even those previously resistant to broader sanctions. With timing debated — some urge waiting until after Israeli elections — Kallas underscores that despite divergent views on Israel, the EU remains united on core goals: backing a two-state solution and delivering humanitarian aid.
