[EU to Take Pressure Measures on Israel] EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaya Kallas said on the 16th that the European Commission will announce measures against Israel on the 17th, including the suspension of trade preferences, to pressure it to end the Gaza conflict. Kallas wrote on social media that Israel's ground offensive in the Gaza Strip will further exacerbate the already serious situation because it means "more deaths, more destruction, and more displacement." The European Commission will announce pressure measures against Israel on the 17th, including the suspension of trade preferences and sanctions on extremist Israeli ministers and violent settlers. These measures "will clearly demonstrate the EU's demand for an end to this war." (Xinhua News Agency)
