Germany still considering EU proposals on Israel sanctions

Germany's government has not yet formed a final view on EU proposals to impose sanctions on Israel over its war on Gaza, a government spokesperson said on Wednesday.

"We are aware of the plans for sanctions. The [European] Commission has been discussing them for several days. They will be presented today and the German government has not yet formed a final opinion on them," government spokesperson Stefan Cornelius said when asked about the plans at a press conference.
