In this episode, we dive into a rising question: could the European Union impose economic sanctions on Israel if the conflict continues to escalate? As Israel’s largest trade partner, the EU holds significant economic leverage, and with public opinion across Europe shifting, sanctions could become a powerful tool to apply pressure. Drawing on historical examples like South Africa and Russia, we ask: could Israel be the next nation to face international economic isolation? What would that mean for the region, and could it actually stop the bloodshed? As the ground shifts quickly in global politics, we explore whether what seems impossible today could become reality tomorrow. <p>Join the gang! <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast">https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast</a>.</p>
