More than a million Europeans have signed a petition asking the EU to suspend a trade deal with Israel for its atrocities in Gaza.

Three member states – Spain, Ireland and Slovenia – tabled a proposal backing the call.

But Israel’s allies, Germany and Italy, blocked the move.

Will it stand on the side of human rights and international law against Washington?
