TEHRAN (Iran News) Borrell criticized the bloc’s leniency towards Israel, stressing that meaningful consequences are long overdue for the regime’s war crimes in Gaza and Lebanon.

In a statement, Borrell proposed several actions, including banning imports from Israel and suspending political dialogue, to confront the regime’s violations of international laws.

“The EU’s approach must change,” Borrell said, adding that even-handedness is crucial for Europe’s credibility on the global stage.

He underscored the protection of healthcare workers and facilities in conflict zones as a non-negotiable principle of international humanitarian law.

Borrell further condemned the killing of 12 paramedics in an Israeli strike near Baalbek, labeling it a grave breach of human dignity and international law.

“This pattern of targeting healthcare mirrors appalling trends in other conflicts, from Syria to Ukraine or Sudan,” he said.

“Whether it is reckless disregard or deliberate targeting, this is a blatant assault on human dignity, endangering lives, and flagrantly violating fundamental human rights,” he added.

The EU’s Foreign Affairs Council is expected to discuss Borrell’s proposals next week, potentially shaping the bloc’s stance on Israel’s military actions.

Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023, after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise operation against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.

The regime’s bloody onslaught on Gaza has so far killed more than 43,730 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 103,000 others. Thousands more are also missing and presumed dead under rubble.

TEHRAN (Iran News) –In a post on his X account on Saturday, Nasser Kanaani abhorred the Israeli regime’s onslaught against Gaza which has claimed over 36,000 Palestinian lives over the past 245 days.

He said months of inaction from the world governments and the UN Security Council on the Israeli regime’s war crimes has increased the responsibility of the nations and non-governmental organizations to support the Palestinian people.

“An embargo on Zionist commodities and companies is the easiest job, but yet very effective,” the spokesperson added.

At least 36,731 people have been killed and 83,530 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7, 2023.

The UN has decided to add the Israeli army to the blacklist of those who harm children in conflict, a move human rights leaders say is “thoroughly justified”.
