Brussels – No excuses: Israel must respect international law and avoid incidents such as those that occurred<\/a> to\u00a0the seven workers of the American NGO World Central Kitchen<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>who were killed by Israeli raids while\u00a0 distributing basic necessities. The European Union does not stand for this, and the reaction of condemnation and distancing comes from many quarters. The High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, and Crisis Commissioner Janez Lenarcic speak for the EU Commission. What happened “is appalling,” they argue in a joint statement <\/a>in which they call Israel to order, which is legal and international.<\/p>\n

The two members of the College of Commissioners reminded that\u00a0Resolution 2728<\/a> of the UN Security Council called for “an immediate ceasefire leading to a sustainable and lasting ceasefire.\u00a0The International Court of Justice (ICJ) also ordered provisional measures which are binding for the Parties. The EU expects their full, immediate and effective implementation.<\/strong>” Hence, the memo that sounds like an implicit accusation of violating rules that apply to everyone.”We recall the Israeli obligation under International Humanitarian Law to protect humanitarian workers at all times<\/strong>.”<\/span><\/span>\u00a0This is not happening, since, Borrell and Lenarcic accuse, “a\u00a0high number of humanitarian workers have lost their lives since the beginning of the war in Gaza.<\/strong>“<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, <\/strong>is not different in tone and exhortations. “We are horrified<\/strong> by the deaths of aid workers” in Gaza, she publicly acknowledges. And, again publicly, “on behalf of the parliament,\u00a0I have called for an impartial investigation<\/strong> into the deaths of aid workers.” A request that matches that made by the EU executive, which demands the investigation be “thorough”\u00a0to shed full light on what happened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
