Portugal has announced an additional donation of €1 million to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). This move comes amidst a broader context where several European countries have increased their support for UNRWA, despite allegations of genocide in Gaza involving Israel, the US, UK, and Germany. Spain has notably trebled its funding to €50 million, while Slovenia has doubled its contribution. Other countries maintaining their support include Ireland, Scotland, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Norway. The EU, as Israel's largest trading partner, is bound by an economic agreement that requires 'respect for human rights' as stipulated in Article 2, which could be in question given the International Court of Justice's recognition of the risk of genocide, potentially obliging the EU to suspend its agreement with Israel.
