Legal proceedings will come on the back of the failure by #EU ministers on Tuesday to agree on suspending the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

A review of the deal had found that #Israel is in breach of the human rights terms associated with the agreement.

The EU-Israel agreement provides for preferential trade terms, cooperation on research, culture and security, and a framework for political dialogue.

Its human rights clause, Article 2, states that respect for democratic principles and human rights is an essential element of the partnership.
