"Preparations for the implementation of Israel's new death penalty law have already begun, with National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir boasting about a new prison wing under construction for the killings."
"The European Union, which prides itself on high human rights standards, continues to look away from Israel's actions, despite a clear clause in its Association Agreement demanding respect for human rights."
"Official reactions have been disgraceful, with the EU describing the death penalty measure as deeply concerning while simultaneously praising Israel's previous commitments to international law and democratic principles."
"On March 30, European countries issued a joint statement expressing deep concern about the bill, yet failed to warn of any concrete steps to address the situation after the bill was passed."
The EU is urged to immediately review and cancel the EU-Israel Association Agreement due to Israeli violations of human rights. Preparations for a new death penalty law in Israel are underway, with a new prison wing being constructed. Despite the EU's high human rights standards, it continues to overlook these violations. Official reactions have been inadequate, with the EU expressing concern but failing to take concrete actions. European countries have also voiced their concerns without proposing any measures to address the situation.
