EU’s Borell proposes suspending political dialogue with Israel
Reuters news agency is reporting that the European Union’s top diplomat made the proposal ahead of a meeting of the bloc’s foreign ministers scheduled for next week.
In a letter, he pointed to “serious concerns about possible breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza” adding that “thus far, these concerns have not been sufficiently addressed by Israel”.
“In light of the above considerations, I will be tabling a proposal that the EU should invoke the human rights clause to suspend the political dialogue with Israel,” Josep Borrell is reported to have written.
Political dialogue between the EU and Israel is enshrined in a broader agreement reached between the two parties in June 2000. The suspension likely faces steep odds, as it would require approval from all 27 EU countries. Reuters reported that several countries are in opposition to such a move. Still, the proposal is likely meant to send a strong message about how Israel continues to conduct the war.
Even though the UK threw themselves out of the EU in 2016, Germany would never approve.
Trump nominates staunch-pro Israel lawmaker Rubio as top diplomt
The announcement comes after days of speculation that Senator Marco Rubio would be Trump’s pick for Secretary of State.
Rubio has taken a hawkish foreign policy approach in the past, particularly towards Iran and in his support for Israel. He is considered one of Israel’s staunchest supporters within the Republican party.
While running for president in 2016, Rubio even accused Trump of not being a true ally to Israel.
Speaking to an activist in 2023, Rubio said that Hamas was “100 percent to blame” for the deaths of Palestinians in Gaza.
The rest of the world will have to step up to end the genocide. Trump will do nothing to stop Netanyahu, rather the opposite.
Boycott the USA as well as Israel.
