Tough Economic Sanctions Imposed by EU Against Israel

In a recent interview with Deutschlandfunk, Jürgen Hardt, a foreign policy expert for the German CDU party, has advocated for targeted sanctions against specific individuals and government members in Israel.

Hardt, known for his expertise in foreign policy, advised the German government to join sanctions against 'radical settlers' in Israel and two radical ministers in the Israeli cabinet: Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

The sanctions proposed by Hardt are not aimed at imposing EU-wide economic sanctions against Israel, but rather at targeting individuals and specific groups who, in his view, are promoting radical policies.

Hardt's stance is against the withdrawal of tariff preferences for Israeli goods, a move that could potentially harm the economic relationship between Germany and Israel. Instead, his proposed sanctions specifically target 'radical settlers' in Israel.

The views of Jürgen Hardt on Israeli sanctions have been widely publicized, with his interview with Deutschlandfunk being published recently. The article, photographed by Katja-Julia Fischer, has sparked discussions about the role of Germany in the Middle East and its stance on Israeli politics.

Despite the controversy surrounding his proposals, Hardt continues to advocate for targeted sanctions against specific individuals and government members in Israel, aiming to promote a more peaceful and diplomatic solution to the ongoing issues in the region.
