Europe’s opportunity to break the Middle East’s cycle of violence
from The Turbulent World with James M. Dorsey · host James M. Dorsey
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar celebrated this week a “diplomatic victory” by delaying European sanctions against the Jewish state. It’s a victory that could prove to be pyrrhic. That is, if EU foreign ministers, increasingly critical of Israel’s conduct in the Gaza war, put their money where their mouth is and make good on their threat to suspend the Jewish state’s 25-year-old association agreement with the European Union because of its human rights violations.
