EU Leadership Faces Scrutiny Amid Gaza Crisis
Despite the escalation in violence and rising civilian casualties, the European Union’s top officials did not issue any public response over the weekend.
Just days earlier, on July 15, EU foreign ministers met in Brussels and declined to impose sanctions on "Israel" over its conduct in Gaza.
The EU’s High Representative, Kaja Kallas, acknowledged the deteriorating conditions, calling the human rights situation in Gaza "catastrophic."
"We don’t have a ceasefire, and that’s why it is so much harder to provide that aid," Kallas said, adding: "But we really need to work for that to help the people because we don’t know how far the ceasefire really is [from being agreed]."
