The European Commission has proposed partially suspending Israel's participation in the EU's flagship Horizon Europe research program, citing concerns over Israel's actions in Gaza and insufficient humanitarian aid.

The proposal reflects mounting European frustration and pressure on Israel to change its policies regarding Gaza.

Israel has condemned the move as unjustified and warned it could undermine efforts to resolve the conflict.
