LONDON: More than 200 former European ambassadors and senior diplomats have angrily rebuked the EU for failing to take any “substantive measures” to pressure Israel to end the war in Gaza.
Western nations have faced growing pressure to take stronger action against Israel as the daily slaughter of Palestinian civilians continues.
The EU in particular has faced strong criticism for struggling to take a tougher stance to end the war.
Last month, the bloc failed to agree on a range of sanctions against Israel despite a review finding the country had breached its human rights obligations under an association agreement with the EU.
European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the sanction measures proposed on July 15 had been paused after Israel agreed to allow more aid to flow into Gaza.
