Borrell blames Israel for the killing of civilians searching for food in Gaza
For his part, the high representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs, Josep Borrellhas held Israel responsible for having committed the massacre of 112 Palestinians in Gaza while they attended a food distributionand has assured that “the shooting by Israeli soldiers against civilians trying to access food is unjustifiable.”
With this explicit reference to the Israeli Army, Borrell distances himself from the position expressed this Friday by the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the president of the European Council, Charles Michel, who avoided mentioning Israel as the author of the attacks. attacks and called for an investigation to clarify the facts.
This Saturday, the head of European diplomacy has not only also demanded a “impartial international investigation into this tragic event“, but has gone a step further by stating, in a statement, that “responsibility for this incident lies with the restrictions imposed by the Israeli Army” for the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
The head of European diplomacy has predicted a “total chaos that will make the distribution of humanitarian aid impossible“if the fighting between Israel and Hamas does not stop and “contempt for international humanitarian law” persists.
Borrell has called on Israel to eliminate restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and allow “free, unhindered and safe” humanitarian access through all border points with the Strip.
In your opinion, airdrops of food or essential products “should be the solution of last resort“, since “its impact is minimal and it is not without risks for civilians.”
