EU parliamentarians demand sanctions on Israel
Millions of ordinary Europeans continue to feel the economic fallout from the illegal war against Iran waged by the US and Israel.
The aggression against the Islamic Republic has just been debated in the European Parliament.
The history of the Middle East is full of imperialistic interventions and power games, leading to the suffering of the people and mass murder.
Iran is bombed, and the region is brought to the brink of disaster.
The EU is silent when international law is broken.
Ozlem Demirel, German MEP
Although the war on Iran has ended, the Israeli regime, backed by the West, continues committing crimes against humanity, particularly against Palestinians.
I'm tired of watching old men destroy the international rules-based order. I am furious that they start wars, uphold occupation, weaponize humanitarian aid, while they enjoy wealth.
Abir Al-Sahlani, Swedish MEP
Since March, EU countries have paid an estimated 30 billion euro more for energy because of the Iran war, with much of the burden passed on to ordinary people.
Because of the fact that it's very expensive nowadays, I try to leave the car at home.

The only way forward is to create grand coalitions and understand those differences, and that can only happen through communication and dialog, which changes the behaviors.
And until that happens, I think we're going to just continually see around the world the upswelling of these different conflicts, whether it's internal to a country or between countries.

Economic uncertainty remains high, with critics warning that Israel's increasingly unpredictable and war-thirsty policies continue to destabilize the region.
EU leaders are under growing pressure to act.
This is hypocrisy. Once it is about measures against Israel, it's like, oh no, I'm going to look elsewhere. Yes, we can stop Israel if we stop funding it. 30% of their trade is with the European Union.
Marc Botenga, Belgian MEP
On Monday, EU foreign ministers once again delayed action, instead asking the European Commission to draw up possible trade measures against Israel.
Critics say the 27 nation bloc is applying blatant double standards, for example, more than 300 Iranian individuals and organizations are subject to EU sanctions; for the genocidal Israeli regime the figure is just seven, all linked to settlements.
Tehran faces sweeping economic sanctions. Tel Aviv, meanwhile, enjoys preferential access to its biggest trading partner the European Union.
