A majority of German citizens support European sanctions on "Israel", a new survey published on Thursday revealed.

According to a report from Deutsche Welle, which cited the research group Verein, a survey published by Der Spiegel Online found that 63% of German voters support the European Commission's proposals for imposing sanctions on "Israel", while others expressed either reservations or opposition.

Recently, the European Commission put forward a suggestion to consider punitive measures against "Israel", contingent on its continued violation of international humanitarian law.

This proposal has subsequently ignited a significant debate among member states within the European Union, particularly after countries like Spain and Ireland adopted a notably tougher stance on Israeli policies, while other member states advocate for a more cautious and measured diplomatic approach.

Wider context

On September 10, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced her intention to push for sanctions against some Israeli ministers and to consider curtailing trade relations in response to the devastating war on Gaza.

Speaking before the European Parliament, von der Leyen expressed frustration over the internal divisions among EU member states, stating, “What is happening in Gaza has shaken the conscience of the world... This must stop."

The EU chief declared that while unity among the 27 member states remains elusive, the European Commission will take independent steps where possible, as von der Leyen announced plans to suspend bilateral support payments to "Israel" while maintaining cooperation with civil society organizations and institutions.

In addition, she vowed to propose sanctions targeting what she termed "extremist" Israeli ministers and violent settlers, citing their rhetoric and actions as inciting further violence. The Commission will also recommend a partial suspension of the EU-"Israel" association agreement, particularly regarding trade-related aspects, although all proposed actions require consensus from the EU’s 27 member states, a challenge that von der Leyen acknowledged openly.
