EU trade ban with settlements is mandated
Human Rights Watch has confirmed that banning European Union trade with Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories is a legal obligation under international and European law, not a political option. The organization explained that the International Court of Justice, in 2024, emphasized the necessity for all countries to take steps to prevent commercial relations that support an illegal situation. It also stressed that imposing customs duties does not halt the flow of funds to the settlements. HRW called on the European Commission to implement a comprehensive ban on settlement trade to comply with international laws, amidst ongoing Israeli expansion and settlement activities.
