European Union Halts Palestinian Aid, Commits to Backing Israel

European leaders have expressed support for Israel and condemned Hamas amid the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza. Landmark buildings across Europe, including 10 Downing Street in London and the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, have been illuminated with the Israeli flag. The European Union has suspended all aid to the Palestinian territories, and European citizens are reported to be among the dead or missing. Pro-Palestinian protests have taken place in several European cities, reflecting stronger public support for Palestinian rights in Europe compared to the United States. Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf revealed that his parents-in-law are trapped in Gaza and facing uncertainty and danger due to the conflict.
