EU’s 27 countries struggle to find a united voice on Gaza

In order for the protesters to wave Palestinian flags outside the EU buildings in Brussels, it was a moment that everything could change.

The EU report presented to the Ministers of Foreign Affairs was that they violated human rights obligations from Israel within the EU-Israel Association Agreement, ahead of the European Union leaders.

The European Union is an Israeli largest trading partner, and protesters requested that the EU suspends its 25-year trading agreement on Israel’s actions in Gaza.

But their hopes that EU leaders will agree to suspend an agreement with Israel, because it remained in war in Gaza in Gaza in spite of the deep division in the Gaza in spite.

Protesters supported more than 100 non-governmental organizations and charities.

In 20 months of Israeli military operation, more than 55,000 ganans, in line with the Hamas Ministry of Health. Another 1.9 million people are displaced.

Israel also imposed a complete blockage of the delivery of humanitarian aid Gaza, which partially softened after 11 weeks after the pressure of American allying and warning from global experts that half a million people faced hungry.

Since then, the UN says that the reports that Istria shooting or shelling inserted more than 400 Palestine, while trying to achieve the achievement of food centers that manage American and Israeli organization. Another 90 also allegedly killed Israeli forces, while trying to approach the convoy of the UN and other groups of help.

“Each red line moved to Gaza” Agnes Bertrand-Sanz from Oxfama told the BBC.

“Every rule was breached. It’s really the ultimate time that the European Union acts.”

As the report was published, he fell on the head of the Foreign Policy Kallas to explain what the European Union would do next.

The first goal of the EU would be to “change the situation” on earth in Gaza, she said. If this did not happen, “further measures” would discuss how to suspend the accession agreement.

“We’ll contact Israel, you know, present our finding,” she came across unsocceratively sending the way. “Because it’s the focus of the Member State, really, you know … Be very, very sure about the feelings we have here.”

NGOs said that the EU missed the opportunity to take measures and that the answer was weak.

The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs called the review of the “complete moral and methodological failure.”

For some of the EU critics, an episode was a vivid example of how the EU can tell a good game that the greatest global gauge assistance is in Gaza, but bad fights any coherent or powerful voice to harmonize.

As the largest in the world of 450 million people, the EU carries a great economic weight, but it is not translated into a political slaughterhouse.

“The fact that European countries and the United Kingdom do more to put pressure on Israel, it is difficult that these countries be very difficult to be credential,” said Olivier de Schutter, the UN special Rapporteur.

“War crimes are starting in a very large extent in Gaza, there is a discussion about whether it represents genocide, but even if there is no genocide, there is a duty to act.”

De Schutter is afraid that the soft power of the EU is lost and its inactivity makes it difficult to convince countries in Africa, Asia in Latin America to advance the Russian war in Ukraine, for example.

Israel claims to act in international law and that his mission is destroying Hamas and bring home the remaining hostages who stopped Hamas attack Israel 7. October 2023. Years. About 1200 people were killed in the attack, which killed an Istria’s offensive on the gauze in the attack.

As the Union of 27 countries, domestic political reality in Europe makes it unlikely that the EU leaders will return views to most Member States on Gaza.

Eleven EU countries recognized Palestine as a state, and among them, Ireland Spain, Belgium, Slovenia and Sweden pushed into the European Union agreement with Israel to be suspended.

In the heart of EU foreign policy, Brussels is the fact that decisions must be unanimous, so only one distensing voice can block the EU to take action.

In this case intangible, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic.

Austria hopes that EU reviews will provoke actions, but not necessarily the suspension of the contract with Israel.

“All I heard about it will not help people in Gaza,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs, Beete Meinl-Reisinger. “What would, however, was approached, if not a complete dialogue failure we currently have with Israel.”

The attitude of Germany about Israel often shaped her role in Holocaust and World War II.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz says that the “current level of gaza attack can no longer be justified by the fight against Hamas”, but he refused to consider suspension or termination of the agreement.

Slovakia and Hungary are considered more closely harmonized by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netania from many other EU countries.

Among the key players who advocate for adequate measures against Netanyahu’s government is Ireland.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Simon Harris, condemned the Overview of the EU review.

“Our response about Gaza was much slow and too many people left to die as genocide was carried out,” he said.

Israel rejects the accusation of genocide and when he closed his embassy in Dublin last December, he accused Ireland Anti-Semitism.

Europe recently found on page Washington on large global issues, especially Ukraine and Iran – with President Donald Road in favor of direct talks with Russian Vladimir Putin and Israel Benjamin Netaniahu.

The United States may not be in listening to the mood, but at the Gaza, the EU struggled to collect a unique voice on Gaza, let alone hear that.
