Eudebates.tv: '18000 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza!'

More than 18 000 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza. Israel also killed more than 100 UN representatives and 60 journalists. But to achieve peace we need politics, not bombs. Therefore, we need an immediate ceasefire with an exchange of hostages, a political deal to a two-state solution, the end of the Israeli occupation in all Palestine and the sending of UN blue helmets to maintain future peace agreements. Moreover, the EU should establish a Palestine facility mechanism like we are negotiating for Ukraine to rebuild critical infrastructure such as houses, schools, roads and sanitation systems. Again, the solution is political, not militaristic. To finish, let me send my gratitude to Bisan Wizard and Motaz Azaiza, who are freely reporting from Gaza. Without you and many others, the world would be blind to the crimes against humanity.

In the resolution adopted in October with 500 votes in favour, 21 against and 24 abstentions, MEPs strongly condemn the brutal attacks, express their support to Israel and its people and underline the need to “eliminate the terrorist organisation Hamas” . They also call for the immediate release of all hostages kidnapped by Hamas and recognise Israel’s right to self-defence “as enshrined in and constrained by international law” . As such, any actions by Israel must strictly comply with international humanitarian law, the text states. Parliament also stresses that both the attacks by Hamas and the Israeli response risk reinforcing a cycle of violence in the region. MEPs therefore call for a “humanitarian pause” of the fighting and stress that attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure, including UN workers, medical workers and journalists, is a serious violation of international law. Following Hamas’ deadly attack against Israel on 7 October 2023, which claimed the lives of around 1 200 people and resulted in more than 200 people being taken hostage, Israel declared war against the terrorist group. It began striking the Gaza Strip from the air, later sending ground forces into the sealed-off coastal enclave. According to the Hamas-run health ministry, more than 14 000 Palestinians have so far been killed. EU leaders increasingly back a humanitarian cease-fire in Gaza The dire humanitarian situation in Gaza is prompting more European Union countries to support the idea of a humanitarian cease-fire in the war between Israel and Hamas.
