@Alexandrad1 @rzeta0 The link to the article in Haaretz appears broken. This one works: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-05-21/ty-article/.premium/diplomatic-tsunami-nears-as-europe-acts-against-israels-complete-madness-in-gaza/00000196-f193-dfe6-a5f6-fff7a3fc0000

And while the quote is there, it might be misinterpreted. The senior official might have meant that they had intelligence that this was going to happen.

A different quote from the same article:

“‘The bullet has left the barrel,’ said Maya Sion-Tzidkiyahu, Director of the Israel–Europe Relations Program at the Mitvim Institute and lecturer at the Hebrew University’s European Forum. ‘There's no telling where this will lead or how the legal review will conclude. This step further isolates Israel as a pariah state, losing some of its closest friends in Europe.’

According to her, ‘This shift happened fast, in just two weeks, and the decision may trigger a diplomatic tsunami.’

‘This is a very clear message to Israel: we've had enough of a senseless war. You're increasingly seen as a country whose values no longer align with those of the European Union,’ Sion-Tzidkiyahu added.”
