7 EU countries submiting a formal request to terminate the defense, economic and political partnership agreement with Israel and US

Recently, the rift between Israel and EU countries has started increasing because it is said that in future Israel and US are likely to suffer huge defense, economic and political losses because it is said that about 7 countries of EU countries have now come together against Israel and submitted a formal request to the European Union to terminate the partnership agreement with Israel. More than 7 European Union countries including Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia formally requested discussion of (partial) suspension at an EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting, citing alleged Israeli breaches of the human rights clause amid Gaza/West Bank/Lebanon operations. Belgium has joined these calls more recently. The proposal was blocked, notably by Germany and Italy, as full or trade suspension requires unanimity (or qualified majority for trade parts). No action was taken yet.

Broader pressure: A European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) for full suspension has gathered over 1 million signatures (exceeding thresholds in multiple countries, including Spain, Ireland, France, etc.). NGOs, UN experts, and former officials have urged suspension. The viral claim: Posts (widely shared today) state that Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium, Finland, France, and Sweden will submit a formal joint request tomorrow to terminate/suspend the agreement. This appears unconfirmed in major outlets so far and may stem from expanding support for review (Belgium joining the core group, plus others like Finland/France/Sweden expressing criticism).

Why is this possible, that the EU countries are betraying Israel and US against Iran, Russia and China?

Although the reports of 7 EU countries are still not very clear, but now countries like Spain, France, Sweden, Ireland, Slovenia and Germany, except UK and Ukraine, have declared Israel/US war against Iran as illegal and even Germany has made fun of Trump. At least 5 Countries including Sweden, Spain, France, Italy, Germany Argues Israel violates the agreement’s human rights obligations; suspension would be a legal/moral duty. But it has now been pointed out that any complete suspension requires consensus among the 27 members – which is currently impossible.

Are all of EU countries really betrayed Israel and US over Iran, Lebanon, Gaza and Syria war?

No confirmed joint formal request from exactly these 7 EU countries as of May 2-3, 2026, but the claim is circulating widely on social media and aligns with ongoing diplomatic pressure. The EU-Israel Association Agreement (signed 1995, in force since 2000) forms the core of bilateral relations. It covers trade (preferential/tariff-free access for many goods), political dialogue, and cooperation, with a human rights clause (Article 2) as an “essential element.” The EU is Israel’s largest trading partner (roughly 1/3 of Israel’s trade).

Why EU countries united against US, Israel, and Russia to defend themselves from foreign Military, and Political Coups?

Actually, the relations between Israel and US are very strong with EU, which is also helping EU countries against Russia in the Ukraine war, but now the way 5,000+ US soldiers have been removed from Germany proves that now the relations between Israel/US with EU countries are getting worse and it is being said that now Trump has again prepared for tariff war, Ukraine war, and political coups. Many European Journalists and Media Outlets are believe there will be Huge Setback to Israel and US in EU countries. Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium, Finland, France, and Sweden will tomorrow submit a formal request to the European Union to terminate the partnership agreement with Israel.
