An EU report presented to foreign ministers had found there were indications Israel had breached human rights obligations under the EU-Israel Association Agreement, ahead of Thursday's European Union leaders' summit.

The European Union is Israel's biggest trading partner, and the protesters were demanding that the EU suspend its 25-year-old trade accord over Israel's actions in Gaza.

But their hopes that EU leaders would agree to suspend the agreement with Israel were soon dashed, because despite the report deep divisions remain over the war in Gaza.

The protesters have been backed by more than 100 NGOs and charities.
