币界网报道:Nine EU countries, including France and Germany, have urged the European Commission to assess potential legal risks for firms trading with Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territories. The joint letter cites concerns over companies facing litigation for violating international law by operating in these areas. The move follows a Dutch court ruling ordering a company to halt business with Israeli settlements, setting a precedent for legal challenges. The countries seek clarity on corporate liability and call for guidelines to prevent EU firms from contributing to rights violations. This reflects growing pressure on businesses to align with human rights standards in conflict zones.
