    I wish them luck. The EU is much more likely than anyone else outside the Muslim world to hold Israel accountable for war crimes.

      Not at all. Sanctions a unanimous decision from all EU members. A number of EU members are pro Israel. In the October ceasefire vote Austria, Croatia, Czechia and Hungary voted against a ceasefire and many more abstained including Germany, Italy and Poland. So very unlikely that anything actually strong is going to come from the EU.

        Oh, I don’t actually think it’s objectively likely that they’ll take action against Israel. I just think it’s more likely than expecting action from the US or UK
