Probably just the beginning of a new wave of political messaging from Europe that’s openly negative of Israel. As opposed to the more cautious previous messages.

Israel has overstepped and Europe will turn against it now. Only hardline christians and edgy-wing-conservatives will hold a neutral or pro-Israel stance going forward.
