Irish FM: EU credibility on Israeli settlements 'gone', urges further sanctions

Irish Foreign Minister Helen McEntee publicly criticized the EU's stance on illegal Israeli settlements, stating its credibility is 'gone' and expressing hope for further EU sanctions against Israel. This marks a notable escalation in rhetoric from a member state, potentially signaling a push for more unified EU action. The statement reflects growing intra-EU frustration over the bloc's inability to enforce its own positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
