The EU argues about new punishments
201
The EU ministers met in Brussels. They talked about the war in Ukraine. They also discussed violence in the Westjordanland. Israelis build many new settlements there. Many countries think this is not allowed. The ministers wanted to create punishments. These are called sanctions. They thought about bans on goods from there.
But the countries do not agree. Germany and Czech Republic say no. They do not want hard sanctions. Austria wants stricter rules. Beate Meinl-Reisinger says: The settlements stop the peace. Some countries want a vote by all members. Others want a majority decision. There is no law for this yet.
The ministers did not decide on new sanctions against Russia. The countries have different goals. Greece wants to protect its ships. The EU wants to stop trade with Russia. But they agreed on cyber attacks. The EU now punishes 9 people and 4 firms. They attacked computer networks in Europe.
There is new help for the Gaza. The EU gives 1 billion dollars. They want to fix water pipes. They want to fix hospitals. But the money is not enough. Experts say: Building again costs much more money. Many people die in the war in the Gaza.
