Four diplomats reported that the high representative of the European Union for foreign affairs, Josep Borrell, suggested starting a political dialogue with Israel due to its possible involvement in human rights violations during the war in the Gaza sector.
This step is caused by the European Union's concern regarding potential human rights violations occurring in the context of the regional conflict. It also serves as an expression of the seriousness of the EU's desire to influence countries that do not comply with international standards.
According to the diplomats, such a refusal of dialogue with Israel could become a strong signal for the country to rethink its policies regarding human rights. Furthermore, it would allow the European Union to demonstrate its position and show that it is ready to take measures if violations continue.
