Josep Borrellthe former high representative of the EU foreign policy accused Israel of “genocide” in Gaza. “We are witnessing the largest ethnic cleaning operation since the end of the Second World War, with the aim of creating a splendid tourist destination once all the millions of tons of rubble has been removed from Gaza and Palestinians have died or have been gone,” said the Spanish politician, cited by the Guardian, referring to the plan for the strip proposed by the US President Donald Trump which provides for a ‘Riviera’ style reconstruction.
«We all know what is going on there, and we all felt the objectives declared by the ministers of Netanyahu, who are clear declarations of genocidal intent. I rarely felt the leader of a state thus clearly outlining a plan that falls within the legal definition of genocide “, he added, underlining that” for months now nothing comes to Gaza. No water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, no medical services ».
The groups at the European Parliament have spread an appeal: «We, Leader of the political groups PPE, S&D, Renew Europe, Verdi/Efa and Left To the European Parliament, we express our profound concern for the threat of a further military escalation in the Gaza Strip and protest against all violations of international law in this conflict, including all the declarations that provide for territorial or demographic changes in the area “. The groups in a note make it known. They did not associate with the ECR initiative and the patriots for Europe. “We ask for an immediate and effective international intervention to relieve the intolerable humanitarian crisis in Gaza”.
