I’m not familiar with how the EU actually works, does each country get a veto for things like sanctions? Because Germany might just get outvoted if Israel keeps going down this line.
In some things there is veto power and in some a majority vote (by states and by population) suffices.
Whilst I do not know for certain in which category Sanctions fall, I would expect that given the implications at a geostrategical and trade level of them there’s a veto power there. Also I vaguelly remember Hungary blocking sanctions against Russia coordinates at the EU level and countries having to go around it and organising their own sanctions, which would mean it’s a vote were there is a veto.
Even beyond that, German is certain to lobby and even bully (were it can) other EU countries so that they don’t sanction Israel.
Most big EU decisions must be agreed to by all members. If even one country disagrees, nothing happens, which is why they’re so pissed about Hungary blocking everything.
The European Parliament is more democratic, but I think they can just do legislation, not compel the use of force or anything like that.
Spain, France, and Italy would piss off the EU. Korea and Poland are going to be a uhhh … learning opportunity for the IDF.
Szymon the automatic rifleman has a right to defend himself
Every soldier has the right to defend themselves and others. Anyways that’s when my artillery support started hitting that one guy behind the rock.
Germany keeps on sucking Netanyahu’s dick and will always block any concerted action at the EU level.

Ah yeah, I remember the Hungary thing too so also, it’ll be a veto.
