On September 8, 2026, all 27 member states of the European Union united in their stance against Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a move backed by the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas. In a post on X, Kallas emphasized that the UK and 11 other European nations had joined this resolution, targeting trade sanctions at the illegal Israeli settlements.
The EU, as the largest donor of humanitarian aid to both Gaza and the West Bank, reaffirmed its commitment to a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace, with the two-state solution being the cornerstone of any resolution. This agreement underscores the shared belief among EU members that Israeli settlements in the West Bank are in violation of international law.
