The prime ministers of Spain and Ireland have formally requested the European Commission to conduct an urgent review to ascertain if Israel is adhering to its human rights obligations in Gaza, through a joint letter. This request comes amidst growing concerns over Israel's compliance with the terms of its trade agreement with the European Union, specifically in the context of the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The call for review also includes an examination of the EU-Israel association agreement. In response to the situation, Ireland's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Micheál Martin, announced a 20 million euro aid package in support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The issue has garnered attention at an international level, prompting discussions among EU leaders about the possibility of reevaluating the Union's policy towards Israel. Additionally, a joint press conference was held by the head of UNRWA and Irish Foreign Minister Micheál Martin.
