The EU's supreme court on EU law
EU foreign ministers have requested discussion of suspending the 1995 EU‑Israel Association Agreement after Spain, Ireland and Slovenia have formally asked for the issue to be placed on the agenda. Member states remain divided: Germany and Italy are opposing suspension while France, Belgium and others are pushing targeted measures, and public pressure has surged following Israel's policies in Gaza, the West Bank and a new death‑penalty law.
The European Court of Justice has found Hungary's 2021 anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory and in breach of EU treaties. The ruling marks a significant legal challenge for Hungary's new government, which is expected to align its policies with EU standards. The decision emphasizes the EU's commitment to fundamental rights and pluralism.
