EU review indicates Israel breached human rights in Gaza

[bannork]

 

Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip indicate a breach of the human rights provisions contained in its Association Agreement with the European Union, a highly anticipated review from the bloc's diplomatic service has found, citing a collection of findings by independent international organisations.

 

The breach stems from Israel's war on Gaza and the stringent conditions applied to the deliveries of humanitarian aid, which have stoked fears of widespread famine among Palestinians living in the densely populated enclave. It also covers Israel's decades-long occupation of the West Bank, where settlers have engaged in violent acts.

 

Europeans have reacted with shock and fury at reports of Palestinians being killed by the Israeli army while waiting for supplies at distribution sites.

And the EU will do nothing.

Of course they think this.  Never mind it is war and they are fighting a dishonorable foe that hides behind their own population and lies through their teeth about atrocities.  None of that is ever discovered by European governments.  Pathetic.

Not all of the EU member states then.

 

Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy and Lithuania were against, and Latvia adopted a "neutral" position, sources said then.

Israel decried the decision and called on Brussels to keep bilateral dialogue going.

"We completely reject the direction taken in the statement, which reflects a total misunderstanding of the complex reality Israel is facing," a spokesperson of Israel's foreign ministry said in May. "This war was forced upon Israel by Hamas, and Hamas is the one responsible for its continuation."
