EU Calls For European Sanctions on Israel After Qatar Strike
Israel hits Houthi terrorist, regime targets in Yemen strike.
The European Union has called for sanctions and other punitive measures against Jerusalem following the Israeli strike on Hamas terrorist leadership in Qatar. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, on Wednesday, demanded “sanctions and a partial trade suspension against Israel,” the Associated Press reported.
Von der Leyen, a close ally of former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, falsely accused Israel of creating “man-made famine” in Gaza and undermining “the two-state solution.” The measures against Israel were announced at Von der Leyen’s so-called ‘State of the Union’ speech in the EU parliament, accompanied by pomp and fanfare.
“The European Commission will propose sanctioning extremist Israeli ministers and the suspension of trade-related measures in a European Union agreement with Israel, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday,” Reuters reported.
On Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted Hamas leadership in an airstrike in Qatar’s capital, Doha. The fate of the Qatar-based Hamas top brass remains unclear. The Israeli military is still assessing the outcome of the operation.
The strike came after Hamas repeatedly rejected Israeli and U.S. proposals to free the remaining hostages and disarm.
Germany’s state-owned DW TV reported von der Leyen’s measures:
The European Union is set to suspend all financial support for Israel as a result of the country’s actions in the Gaza Strip, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Wednesday.
“We will put our bilateral support to Israel on hold,” she told the European Parliament in Strasbourg. (…)
Exemptions will be made for EU payments which support Israeli civil society initiatives and the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum.(…)
(…) Von der Leyen, also proposing “a partial suspension” of the so-called Association Agreement which has underpinned political and economic relations between Israel and the EU since 2000. (…)
In addition to the suspension of bilateral payments to Israel (see below), EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has also proposed “sanctions on extremist [Israeli] ministers and on violent settlers.”
Members of the Israeli government, including Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, are themselves settlers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, and vocal advocates of continuing and expanding illegal Israeli settlements in the region.
The European bloc is Israel’s largest trading partner, with $28 billion worth of annual trade. The EU accounts for 32% of Israel’s global trade.
“The sanctions, which require unanimous support from 27 member states, are likely to get pushback from Germany, Hungary, and some other European nations. “The proposals would need broad or unanimous support among the EU’s member states, which is likely to be hard to achieve as the bloc is deeply divided on the Middle East,” Reuters added.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar rejected von der Leyen’s baseless accusations, saying her remarks ‘strengthen Hamas’ and Iran-led Islamist ‘radical axis.’
“The suffering inflicted on both Israelis and Palestinians alike is Hamas’s fault,” he wrote on X. “Anyone who seeks an end to the war knows very well how to end it: the release of the hostages, the disarmament of Hamas, a new future for Gaza.”
The Times of Israel reported:
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar calls European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s announcement that the Commission will propose sanctioning Israeli ministers and a partial suspension of the EU’s association agreement with Israel “regrettable,” saying her remarks strengthen Hamas and ignore Israel’s efforts to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
“The President of the European Commission’s comments this morning are regrettable,” Sa’ar writes on X. “Once again, Europe conveys the wrong message that strengthens Hamas and the radical axis in the Middle East.”
Von der Leyen had said, “Man-made famine can never be a weapon of war,” referring to allegations of widespread starvation in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel refusing to ensure aid distribution as part of its war strategy.
Sa’ar rejects her account, writing that some of her statements “are also tainted by echoing the false propaganda of Hamas and its partners.”
The President of the European Commission's comments this morning are regrettable. Some of them are also tainted by echoing the false propaganda of Hamas and its partners.
Once again, Europe conveys the wrong message that strengthens Hamas and the radical axis in the Middle East.…— Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער (@gidonsaar) September 10, 2025
Israel hits Houthi terrorist, regime targets in Yemen strike
Israeli Air Force (IAF), on Wednesday, struck terrorist and regime sites belonging to the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen. The strike includes the Houthi propaganda ministry and weapons depots in Yemen’s capital, Sanaa. IAF fighter jets hit “weapons and ammunition caches alongside fuel storage facilities,” Israel’s Ynetnews reported.
Israeli airstrikes targeted the vicinity of the Houthi Presidential Palace, south of Sana’a, as well as a fuel storage site, and the Houthi’s media department, according to Saudi Al-Hadath. The Houthi government complex in the Hazm district of Al-Jawf Governorate was also struck. https://t.co/Os4sFxionN pic.twitter.com/hTEv3lnJhp

“A short while ago, the IAF struck military targets belonging to the Houthi terrorist regime in the areas of Sanaa and Al Jawf in Yemen,” the Israeli armed forces disclosed. “Among the targets struck are military camps in which operatives of the terrorist regime were identified, the Houthis’ Military Public Relations Headquarters, and a fuel storage facility that was used by the terrorist regime for terrorist activity.”
“The strikes were conducted in response to attacks by the Houthi terrorist regime against the State of Israel, including launching UAVs and surface-to-surface missiles toward Israeli territory,” the IDF said.

Describing the significance of the targets, the IDF observed:
The terrorist regime’s Public Relations Department is responsible for distributing and disseminating propaganda messages in the media, including speeches of the Houthi leader Abd al-Malik and the spokesman Yahya Sari’s statements. During the war, the headquarters led the propaganda efforts and the terrorist regime’s psychological terror.
The military camps that were struck served the Houthi regime to plan and execute terrorist attacks against the State of Israel. Additionally, the military camps included operation and intelligence rooms.

“As part of Operation ‘Gideon’s Chariots II’, the Population Warning Department of the Southern Command and Unit 504 began yesterday (Tuesday) an effort to warn the civilian population in Gaza City,” the IDF informed in a press release on Wednesday.
“The IDF is employing a variety of operational tools including the distribution of voice messages, dropping of leaflets, sending text messages, and conducting phone calls, all with the goal of reaching as many civilians as possible,” the military added. “The IDF calls on civilians in the Gaza Strip to heed the official instructions for their safety and to avoid staying in areas designated as dangerous.”

The IDF is sending text and audio messages to mobile phones in the area. Israeli planes are dropping leaflets, providing information on safe zones to Gaza residents fleeing the area.
“For your safety, evacuate immediately via the Al-Rashid corridor to the humanitarian area in Al-Mawasi. Remaining in the area is very dangerous,” the IDF leaflet dropped on Tuesday said.
While the IDF is implementing painstaking measures to minimize civilian casualties, Hamas is threatening Gaza City residents and ambushing those fleeing the area.

In breaking news Charlie Kirk was just shot at one of his debate events by a lunatic.
The left HATES that people are allowed to say things that show the left to be lunatics.
We cannot continue to share a country with these pieces of trash.
Unbelievable. I can’t upvote this. This man has never stood for something other than peaceful debate and reasonable discourse. I’m sure the chorus for the left will try to paint him otherwise.
The party of “tolerance” has no tolerance whatsoever.
We can only hope that whatever sane members there are of the Democrat Party will wake up after this violent assassination and come to realize just how sick the Left is.
Much like Muslims.
Now, my concern is for his family, any fund raiser yet? We cannot help him, we can try to take care of his family.
europe is pitting us against ussr and china instead of being loyal to its foundation…..oh wait that was years back
now the foundation is is lam
nevermind
EU needs gulf oil?
Norway and britain have north sea oil, but green policies are blocking development. Drill baby drill, make europe great again.
Canada and mexico have surplus for export.
Qatar is….. – they’re not exactly neutral – they’re more ambivalent.
They allow the US an airbase – Al Udeid Air Base – from which btw we did NOT launch planes in the attack on Iranian nuke sites.
At the same time they’ve allowed a bevy of top tier Iran’s puppet Hamas leaders sanctuary to live and (until now) safely continue to plan operations against Israel (and the USA). They’re trying to please both sides – Iran/Hamas AND Israel/USA – but it’s not working very well
Israel just attacked Hamas leadership stationed in Qatar and Hamas (using Iranian supplied weapons) just over a month ago attacked Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Like to note that the EU hypocrites weren’t visibly outraged at an Iran-backed attack into Qatar – just an Israeli one.
Almost like there’s one standard for Jews and a more forgiving one for Muslims, isn’t it?
allowing the base is just the ruse
the taqiyya
Google “negative activities of Qatar in the US”. It’s a long list. Even in Google.
1) Iran attacked a US base in Qatar in June. Did the EU care about that?
2) Last night Russian drones [apparently 7 out of 17] were shot down by the Poles when they tried to use sovereign Polish airspace to attack Ukraine. Did the EU care about that?
3) Given that Western Europe, which makes up most of the EU, is rapidly coming under the control of the Ummah, why should we care about what the EU thinks?
Subotai Bahadur
The EU didn’t care about Obama sending Navy Seals to kill Bin Laden in Pakistan. They only care when it’s the Jews. They are on the wrong side of Genesis 12:3.
EU is a lost cause. I cannot think of anything they have that we cannot live without. We should place the same sanctions on them as they have placed on Israel.
Exactly. You beat me to it.
And she’s ursula’s a german. How appropriate.
The Palestinian – Israeli conflict will only escalate from here. Eventually, every nation will have to choose sides. There will be no bystanders. Israel is in the process of clearing Gaza City and herding all the Palestinians into a single concentration camp. Israel needs the Palestinians to be gone, but no nation on Earth will accept them. That sets up an opportunity for someone (not necessarily Israeli) to introduce Ebola or Marburg into the camp, and reduce the Palestinian numbers to a deportable level of 200-400K. Zionists might do this, but so might other state or non-state actors who want to politically damage Israel and Trump, or just want to Cloward-Piven the world. Regardless of who does it, it will probably happen, and force all nations to take sides in no uncertain terms.
They are not in a “concentration camp.” They’re in a camp for displaced persons. Had such a camp not been established, Israel would be accused of failing to provide for their needs with food and shelter. Pretty sure the Nazis didn’t establish their camps to provide the Jews with food and shelter.
“Eventually, every nation will have to choose sides.”
You’re right about this. I don’t know about the rest.
Aside from indoctrination from 2 years old and having so many children, that there is no chance of them living productive lives.
So, the two-state solution is now the de facto solution to the Palestinian problem?
Someone should remind Von der Leyen that the two-state solution was applied in the 1940s when Jordan was created out of the British Mandate for Palestine. The Transjordan was meant for the Arabs and the remainder of the Mandate should have been designated for the Jews (as all of the Mandate had been). But the UN screwed that up, with two proposals that would have given the Arabs even more land (both rejected by the Arabs in what remained of Mandatory Palestine), causing the Israelis to declare independence before more of the land that had been promised to them was given away to the Arabs.
While we’re at it, remind her that the EU isn’t a Nation State, that choosing to read straight from the script provided by Hamas propagandists shows us exactly who she is, what side she has chosen and it ain’t the side of Western Civilization.
Also remind him that Jordan revoked citizenship after those Arabs in Palestine started a revolution and lost. As I recall, Jordan killed about 15000 of hose creations. Now Jordon should take them back and finish what they started.
Oh, f*ck off, EU.
Right — the despicable, feckless and evil E.U. apparatchiks want to punish those pesky Israeli Jews, for resolutely striking Islamofascist terrorists, wherever they reside and are given succor; in this case, by the greasy, evil, duplicitous and wretched Qatari regime.
The US should place sanctions on Europe
Haven’t they already sanctioned them?
