The European Union is considering imposing sanctions on Israeli ministers accused of inciting human rights violations following the attack on the Gaza-bound Global Sumud flotilla. According to a draft prepared ahead of the EU’s June summit, the proposal calls for continued efforts to take strong measures against extremist ministers allegedly involved in such violations. The draft was reported by Italian news agency ANSA on Tuesday.

The document condemns the mistreatment of passengers after the flotilla was intercepted in international waters and urges EU member states to maintain pressure for accountability. Representatives from the EU’s 27 member countries are currently discussing the proposal, which may be revised before the upcoming summit.

The move follows widespread international criticism over the flotilla’s interception. Organizers of the mission have alleged that detainees were subjected to physical and sexual abuse, degrading treatment, and deprivation of basic needs while held in Israeli detention centers.
