European Commission considers suspending Israel's access to EU funding for tech start-ups

Amid growing concerns over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the European Commission is weighing the suspension of EU funding for Israeli tech start-ups. This action comes in response to pressure from several EU countries seeking tangible measures against Israel. The proposed suspension would affect Israel's involvement in the Horizon research program and requires approval from a majority of EU member states. The EC has described the potential suspension as a targeted and reversible action, while the EU has faced criticism for its handling of Israel's actions in Gaza.
