EU arms sales to Israel persist despite child-rights treaty obligations

EUobserver reports that EU governments continue authorizing arms sales to Israel, contravening EU treaties and rules that mandate protection of children's rights, amid ongoing child casualties in Gaza. The claim is an opinion-editorial assertion, not a new factual development, and lacks specific data on recent sales or legal challenges. It underscores a persistent policy tension between EU member states' arms export practices and their stated humanitarian and legal commitments.
