[European Commission Proposes Suspension of Some Trade Preferences for Israel] The European Commission announced on the 17th that it had submitted a proposal to the European Council to partially suspend the preferential trade provisions of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. The Commission stated that this measure is based on a compliance review of Article 2 of the agreement, which deals with human rights. The review concluded that the Israeli government's actions violate fundamental provisions regarding respect for human rights and democratic principles, giving the EU the right to unilaterally suspend the agreement.
