25/11/2025 (Agence Europe) – On Tuesday 25 November, the European Commission registered the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) entitled ‘Demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights’. The organisers of this ECI are calling on the Commission to submit to the Council a proposal for the full suspension of the Association Agreement. “EU citizens cannot tolerate that the EU maintains an agreement that contributes to legitimise and finance a State that commits crimes against humanity and war crimes”, they explain. The organisers of the ECI now have six months to open the twelve-month period for collecting signatures. If the ECI receives at least one million declarations of support, and if this minimum threshold is reached in at least seven Member States, the Commission will be obliged to react and decide what action to take on the initiative.
