The European Union is moving towards imposing sanctions on both Hamas and violent Israeli West Bank settlers, with Hungary potentially ending its opposition to the sanctions. EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell expressed confidence in reaching an agreement for these sanctions. Additionally, Borrell described the situation in Gaza, following Israel's military campaign, as the world's largest 'open-air graveyard,' a stark transformation from what he previously termed the largest open-air prison. This description came amid discussions at the EU Foreign Affairs Council, which also addressed situations in Ukraine and Belarus. The Council saw unanimous agreement among EU foreign ministers on the sanctions against the West Bank settlers, as stated by the Spanish Foreign Minister.
