Has Israel become a divisive issue in Europe? | Inside Story

Earlier this month, Slovenia joined Spain and Belgium in imposing an arms embargo on Israel.
Germany followed suit, halting the sale of weapons to Israel that could be used in Gaza ‘until further notice’.
The Netherlands has also imposed a partial ban on parts for Israeli fighter jets, while Italy suspended all new military exports to Israel in October.
But it’s the recent resignation of the Dutch foreign minister after his government failed to sanction Israel that raises questions:
Will this one action trigger a broader political fallout across the 27-nation bloc?
