Josep Borrell, the head of EU foreign policy, claimed on Monday that Gaza had become the largest “open-air graveyard” in the world as a result of Israel’s military operation. “The best outdoor jail before the war was Gaza. It’s the best outdoor cemetery nowadays,” Borrell declared during a Brussels meeting of EU ministers. “It’s a graveyard for tens of thousands of people and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law.” Borrell again restated his charge that by preventing relief trucks from entering Gaza, Israel was using starvation as a “weapon of war”. “Israel is creating hunger,” he declared at a meeting for humanitarian aid. The 27-nation EU has had difficulty responding to the Gaza War as a whole.
