Europe is focusing on the Palestinians after Hungary's election defeat of Israel ally Viktor Orbán. Over 60 nations met in Brussels on Monday to discuss prospects for stability and peace in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. Hungary's new leader, Péter Magyar, plans to rejoin the International Criminal Court and may change his country's stance on Israel. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is pushing for the EU to suspend its agreement with Israel. However, that is likely impossible as countries such as Austria and Germany tend to back Israel. A majority of EU member countries now recognize an independent Palestinian state.
