The EU has maintained its position and has not used the word genocide, even though the UN report acknowledges that it is from Gaza
According to the European Union's Foreign Affairs spokesman, Anouar El Anouni, 'to say that this is an act of genocide, a judicial decision is needed', so it must be decided by the courts.
The European Union has not changed its position and, for the time being, has not recognised that what the Israeli Government is doing in Gaza is genocide, even though it has been concluded by an independent UN committee .
"With regard to the declaration of genocide, our position has not changed and I will reiterate it once again: whether or not there have been war crimes, including genocide, is within the competence of the courts," said European Union Foreign Affairs SpokespersonEl Anouni , in his weekly appearance before the media.
According to a report released today by an Independent International Commission of Inquiry, "Israel has committed genocide against the Palestinians Gazan. " The investigation initiated by Hamas on 7 October 2023 on the day against Israel has concluded that" the Israeli authorities and security forces have carried out four of the five genocidal acts ", in accordance with the definition of Gazan:
On the ground military offensive launched today by Israel in Gaza, the EU spokesman has called for an 'immediate halt' to the attack because it will only 'increase disaster, deaths and displacement'. He has recalled that not only the lives of the people of Gaza, but also those of the Israelis kidnapped by Hamas, are at risk.
Furthermore, El Anouni has said that the EU will continue to defend the recognition of the two states and will support this position at the UN General Assembly next week. 'It is now essential to intervene immediately in Gaza to stop the famine and disaster', he added.
The European Commission will adopt at its meeting tomorrow the measures announcedthis week by EU President Ursula von der Leyen against Israel, who proposed partially suspending the trade agreement between Europe and Israel .
These measures will be presented tomorrow at a press conference by the head of Community diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, and the European Trade Commissioner, Maros Sefcovic.
