[EU Plans to Suspend Israel's Participation in Horizon Europe] The European Commission issued a statement on the 28th, proposing to suspend Israel's participation in parts of the EU's flagship scientific project, Horizon Europe, due to the "serious situation" in the Gaza Strip. The statement said that if the proposal is passed, Israeli startups and small companies in fields such as cybersecurity, drones, and artificial intelligence will be banned from participating in some projects. The proposal requires the consent of at least 15 of the EU's 27 member states. Reuters reported that several EU member states accused Israel last week of violating the agreement reached with the EU and not increasing aid to Gaza. Many countries asked the European Commission to come up with a specific response plan. (Xinhua News Agency)
