Israel may be excluded from the European Union's Horizon research program, a leading source of academic grants for Israeli researchers. The new rules for the Horizon program, set to be approved next week and covering the years 2028-2034, include a new clause referencing the UN's Genocide Convention. This clause, absent in previous Horizon programs, appears specifically designed to target Israel's participation.
Exclusion from Horizon would deliver a severe blow to Israeli academia. The program is a significant funding source, and its absence could have dire consequences for research institutions across the country.
