Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has publicly criticized EU members for failing to take action against Israel's alleged human rights violations in Gaza, despite evidence presented in a recent European External Action Service report. The report indicates potential breaches of international law, citing high Palestinian casualties and indiscriminate attacks on civilians. Sanchez lamented the double standards in EU foreign policy, contrasting the responsive measures taken against Russia with the inaction regarding Israel, while only Spain and Ireland have openly called for suspending the trade agreement with Israel, facing opposition from other member states.
Sanchez condemned the EU's inaction, asserting that in light of the 'catastrophic situation of genocide,' the trade deal with Israel should be suspended.
The report from the European External Action Service points to potential breaches of human rights by Israel, including indiscriminate attacks and blockades affecting civilians.
