France, Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg aim for EU’s punishing response to annexation

French officials are pressuring their EU partners to consider threatening Israel with punitive measures if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s incoming government goes forward with its West Bank annexation plan, Reuters reports.

France is joined by Belgium, Ireland, and Luxembourg, countries that also want to discuss a tough response against Israel, but all EU members must agree on any collective action taken, Reuters clarifies.
