Amnesty International condemns EU's ‘shameful’ Gaza conclusion
(MENAFN) Amnesty International has issued a scathing rebuke of the European Council's latest conclusions on the Middle East, labeling them a “shameful attempt” to justify Israel’s genocide and war crimes against Palestinians. The human rights organization alleges the council's document conspicuously avoids direct condemnation of Israeli airstrikes and the siege of humanitarian aid, despite the prolonged war.
Eve Geddie, Director of Amnesty International's European Institutions Office, expressed profound disappointment, stating: “After 17 months of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the fact that the EU refuses to name Israel, condemn airstrikes wiping out entire families, or denounce Israel’s blocking of vital humanitarian aid is extraordinary.”
She further accused the EU of "selective compassion towards victims, particularly when they are Palestinian," and urged instant efforts to prevent any collusion in what she described as "genocide, apartheid, and unlawful occupation."
“The EU leaders’ text is another shameful attempt to justify Israel’s genocide and war crimes against Palestinians. Instead of obfuscating the facts, EU leaders should take clear and decisive action to prevent potential complicity in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, apartheid and unlawful occupation,” Geddie added.
She also noted: "For too long, the EU has been divided on how to respond to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, with some member states continuing to send weapons and ammunition to Israel in breach of their obligations to prevent genocide and ensure respect for the Geneva Conventions. This must end now."
