EU fails to agree Israeli suspension from research fund over Gaza
-
A European Commission proposal to deny Israel partial access to the EU's €95 billion Horizon Europe research fund failed to garner the necessary qualified majority support when EU ambassadors met in Brussels on Tuesday to discuss the issue.
Both Germany and Italy said they needed more time and would let the EU know if they come to a different position in the coming weeks, according to two sources familiar.
The Netherlands, Ireland, France, Luxembourg, Slovenia, Portugal, Malta and Spain all supported the Commission's plan with several saying they would also push the EU for stronger sanctions, potentially in trade, the sources said.
The Commission's motion to suspend Israel's participation in Horizon is in response to an EU report finding the country had breached human rights obligations in the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Yeah EU (specifically Germany) is hell bent on allowing Israel to continue it's Genocide, at least to a level that allows them to ease their Holocaust guilt.

Germany’s constitution places the security of “the democratic Jewish state of Israel” as the Bundesrepublik’s core reason to exist, with everything else flowing from this.

To be fair a lot of prominent Nazis got leadership positions in Germany after WW2 so it's more of a mixture than a transition.
