The EU is Israel's largest trading partner and accounts for 32% of Israel's total trade in goods with the world. Israel is only the EU's 31st largest trading partner. The Jewish state has had favorable trade conditions with the eu, but now the bloc wants to impose duties. If member states vote to suspend the preferential trade agreement, Israel could end up paying $240 million more a year. EU foreign policy chief Kaya Kallis said the bloc is trying to pressure the Israeli government to the measures also include sanctions on 10 members of the Hamas terrorist organization and two extremist ministers in the Israeli government for their role inciting violence in the West Bank.

Erkman Aslam at the University of Vermont is one of the paper's authors.
