In a recent summit in Brussels, European Union leaders acknowledged the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling for a ceasefire and the release of hostages. However, they were unable to formulate a unified approach to pressure Israel, despite a report indicating potential violations of human rights obligations. The differences among member states, particularly between those critical of Israel's actions and those supporting it, resulted in a weak final statement. The EU's delayed discussions on actionable steps highlight the complexities in addressing the ongoing conflict.
