Sweden calls for EU sanctions targeting 'individual Israeli ministers'

"As Sweden's foreign minister, Maria Malmer Stenergard has urged the EU to impose sanctions on Israeli officials implicated in harsh humanitarian treatment of civilians in Gaza. She emphasized that while she remains committed to Israel, she is pushing for measures targeting specific officials accused of impeding aid distribution following the conflict initiated by Hamas. Meanwhile, Israel is preparing a military offensive to regain control of Gaza, with international bodies calling for greater humanitarian access amid severe shortages of essentials. The EU has recently approved aid shipments into Gaza despite ongoing cuts and dire conditions."
