• EU officials pressed for independent verification mechanisms, including on-site monitoring, to ensure agreed aid volumes and access points are fully implemented.
• Ministers warned they could suspend or scale back aspects of the EU-Israel Association Agreement if Israel falls short of its humanitarian commitments.
• While Israel has reopened crossings and increased aid truck deliveries, EU leaders say the flows remain insufficient for Gaza’s 2.3 million residents.
