EU Member States Weigh Trade Ban on Israeli West Bank Settlements

🇪🇺 BRUSSELS — EU moves on settlements while US attention is elsewhere. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: A trade ban on settlement goods would be the EU's most concrete economic pressure on Israel since the conflict began. The timing matters: with US attention absorbed by the Iran confrontation, Brussels sees political space to act unilaterally. Israel's diplomatic bandwidth is constrained; a ban now arrives without the usual Washington pushback that has historically shelved similar moves.
