EU leaders unanimously condemned the cruelty of the murder committed by Hamas on October 7, but found a relatively weak reaction to aggressive statements by high -ranking Israeli politicians. Europe must unite and form a single foreign policy with a priority to stop gas violence. This is necessary for thousands of residents of Gaza, for the political future of Israel and Palestine, and finally for Europe itself. After the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court invited the arrest of high -ranking leaders of Israel and Hamas, it became obvious that a coherent European foreign policy was needed.
"The EU plays a dangerous game, holding 27, mostly ineffective foreign policies instead of having a single vote. This also applies to a fundamental issue of recognizing the Palestinian state, which seems logical step on the way to solving the problem of two states, but not all EU countries supported," Politico says.
War certificates in Ukraine and in the Gaza sector are separated by European society. And now you can see the first signs of this split.
Increasing tensions in communities that feel their share in conflict. There is also an increase in anti -Semitism and Islamophobia. Jews in Europe are often associated with the actions of the Israeli government, and the citizens of Arab origin are constantly forced to express Hamas's condemnation if they were his supporters because of nationality. This leads to the depression of the voices of peace, and the far -right groups put peaceful protesters at one level with Hamas supporters.
EU leaders strongly condemned the cruelty of the murder committed by Hamas on October 7, but the response to aggressive statements by high -ranking Israeli politicians was relatively soft. Inaction only led to an increase in the number of bombing of civilian objects in gas, hunger and termination of supplies.
This may change if Europe will collect freedom. By returning to basic principles, it can improve its reputation. It is important to refer to international law to protect the right of Israel to self -defense against Hamas attacks on October 7. Europe should also support international law when it comes to protecting the life and right of self -determination of Palestinians.
Earlier it was reported that three European countries - Ireland, Spain and Norway - have officially recognized the independence of Palestine as a sovereign and independent state.
