The European Commission has announced concerns about the situation in Gaza despite Israel implementing a daily humanitarian pause in the fighting and meeting some commitments. The Israeli Foreign Ministry criticized a proposed suspension of the European Innovation Council (EIC) program, warning it could empower Hamas and jeopardize ceasefire efforts. The suspension targets Israelis participating in the EIC Accelerator, which invests in tech startups with potential dual-use technologies like cybersecurity and AI. Horizon Europe programs funding Israeli universities remain unaffected. The decision awaits the approval of a qualified majority of EU countries.
