Netanyahu Has Become a 'Problem', Says Danish PM
Danish PM Frederiksen urges EU to impose sanctions on Israel and increase political pressure amid allegations of war crimes and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

- She emphasized targeting sanctions strategically, similar to those imposed on Russia, including measures against settlers, ministers, or broader trade and research restrictions.
- More than 235 people, including 106 children, have died amid an Israeli blockade causing severe shortages of food and medicine, while over 15,000 patients urgently need medical evacuation according to Gaza NGOs.
