Borrell accuses Israel of violating international law

The EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, stated that Israel's actions in Gaza may have breached international law, citing the cutting of water, electricity, and food to civilians. This puts the EU at odds with the Biden Administration, which has refrained from criticizing Israel's actions. Borrell condemned Hamas' attack on Israel but emphasized the need to continue funding the Palestinian Authority, arguing that stopping support would benefit Hamas. The EU is reviewing its aid to the Palestinians, but Borrell urged not to delay funding due to the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza. Some voices within the EU are calling for more solidarity with Israel, while European Parliament President Roberta Metsola plans to hold a solemn moment to remember the victims of Hamas, although some MEPs may skip the event due to concerns about the victims of Israel's strikes.
