EU Staff Criticize von der Leyen's Israel Stance, Divisions on Gaza Overshadow EU-US Summit

EU staff members have criticized European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for her "unconditional support" to Israel in a letter sent to her office. The staff expressed concern over the European Commission's stance, which they believe promotes a "European cacophony" and disregards human rights and international humanitarian law. They called on von der Leyen to join EU leaders in calling for a ceasefire and the protection of civilian life, warning that the EU risks losing credibility.
