Yair Golan: Israel kills children as a hobby…and is on its way to becoming a pariah among nations
Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels.
The Netherlands is leading an initiative to review the trade relationship between the European Union and Israel and suspend existing agreements.
The proposal, put forward by Dutch Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp, is based on Article 2 of the EU-Israel Association Agreement, which allows the EU to suspend agreements if it deems Israel to be committing serious human rights violations.
Suspending trade relations requires the approval of all 27 EU member states.
UNRWA: The only thing entering Gaza now is bombs.
In a post on its Facebook page today, UNRWA predicted that the Gaza Strip is likely to face its worst humanitarian crisis since October 2023.
For its part, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) reported on Tuesday that the only thing entering Gaza now is bombs, noting that there is no safe place.
She added: “The intensive Israeli bombardment from the air, land and sea resulted in hundreds of casualties and mass displacement.”
UNRWA noted that the Israeli authorities have been closing all supplies to Gaza for 11 weeks.
More than two million Palestinians in Gaza are facing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis due to Israeli restrictions on aid entry since early March, following the collapse of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement signed under Egyptian, Qatari, and American sponsorship in January.
