BRUSSELS, July 28, 2025 (WAFA) - The European Commission is tabling the suspension of Israel's access to the EU's Horizon Research fund as a consequence of the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza. It comes after an accord between the two sides for Israel to substantially increase aid to Gaza has not materialized, said EU sources.

The European Commission is considering suspending Israel's access to the EU's Horizon Europe research and innovation program in response to Israel's ongoing actions in Gaza.

EU Commissioners are meeting today to discuss the move in response to the failure of Israel to implement a negotiated agreement to "substantially" improve access to food and medical supplies to Palestinians in Gaza.

"The partial suspension of Horizon will be discussed in the College of Commissioners today," a high-level EU source confirmed to Euronews.
