"Europe must not let Gaza become the graveyard of international law and human rights. Amid mounting concern about the remorseless attacks by Israel against the civilian population in Gaza, which, since October 7, 2023, have reportedly led to the deaths and injuries of over 227,000 Palestinians and the displacement, in the last two weeks, of more than 400,000 people, 325 former European Union and Member State Ambassadors and Senior Officials are calling for urgent action."
"The United Nations, being the established global body for peace and security, must live up to its responsibilities. We cannot stand idly by, watching Gaza reduced to rubble and its inhabitants driven into destitution and starvation. The issue is whether the EU and like-minded nations will stand up for basic humanity and for the values that underpin the post-war international order."
Since October 7, 2023, attacks have reportedly caused over 227,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries and displaced more than 400,000 people in the past two weeks. Three hundred twenty-five former EU and Member State ambassadors and senior officials call for the EU to immediately impose targeted sanctions on the Israeli government and suspend the EU-Israel Association Agreement. They urge the UN General Assembly President and UN Security Council Chair to convene emergency meetings and adopt sanctions for multiple violations of international law. Immediate action is demanded to preserve life, end the military onslaught, secure all hostages, and enable the Palestinian Authority’s swift return to Gaza toward unified democratic governance. Recent actions include intensified bombardment of Gaza City and an openly declared policy to clear the population and force displacement of up to one and a half million people.
