Ireland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Simon Harris warned Saturday that the EU risks losing credibility if it fails to take concrete measures against Israel amid what he called the “horrific genocide” in Gaza.
Harris made the remarks ahead of an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Copenhagen.
He said it was "crucially important that the EU acts now and takes immediate and concrete measures in response to Israel's actions which are in breach of its human rights obligations under the EU-Israel Association Agreement."
'We need to maximize pressure'
"We need to maximize the pressure, to bring about a ceasefire, and to end the famine," he told reporters. "Let me be very clear: words of condemnation are not enough when it comes to the horrific genocide that is underway in Gaza."
