The high representative of the EU, Kaja Kallas, has announced an agreement with Israel to allow the entry of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip. The commitment responds to the conversations they have held in recent weeks and with which the head of European diplomacy intended to achieve improvements in the catastrophic situation of the Strip, where more than 50,000 people have been killed, before having to put on the table of the Foreign Ministers concrete measures in the framework of the review of the commercial agreement. The punishment of Israel does not arouse interest in most European capitals, beyond governments such as Spain, Ireland and one more handful.
“After the resolutions of the Council of Israeli Ministers and the constructive dialogue between the EU and Israel, Israel has agreed significant measures to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip. These measures are being applied or will be applied in the coming days, in the common understanding that large -scale help must be delivered directly to the population and that measures will continue to be taken to guarantee that there is no device of help to Hamas,” High representative in a statement.
“These measures include, among others, the substantial increase in the number of daily trucks for the entry into gaza of food and non -food items, the opening of other border steps both in the northern and south zone; the reopening of the Jordana and Egyptian help routes; allowing the distribution of food supplies through bakeries and public kitchens throughout the Gaza Strip; Fuel for use of humanitarian facilities, to an operational level;
What they have not answered in the European Commission is what will happen now within the framework of the review of the commercial agreement that was planned to be addressed at the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the 27 next Tuesday. The idea that Kallas slid after the previous appointment is that the measures would depend on whether Israel allowed an improvement in the terrible humanitarian conditions of the Gazatí population.
“We will contact Israel to present our conclusions,” Kallas said after presenting to the ministers the report in which the constant human rights violations by Israel in Gaza and the West Bank were listed and concluded that they were “signs” of them. “We do not intend to punish Israel, but to improve the life of the people of Gaza,” said the head of European diplomacy, who had already postponed decision making by the EU, since they were initially planned for that appointment.
And it is that taking action in punishment to Israel is complicated within the EU, where numerous countries remain in equidistance against the genocide that Netanyahu is perpetrating against the Palestinian population.
