According to a report, the eu are one of the largest donors of humanitarian aid to Gaza but the eu diplomat Kaja Kallas said most of it was currently unable to get to palestinians who need it. Reportedly, Ms Kallas said the eu did not support the new aid distribution body, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation backed by the u.s. and Israel which bypasses the u.n.
According to the report, the eu commissioner Ursula von der Layen described recent israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure as abhorrent and disproportionate, the new German chancellor Friedrich Merz said the way in which the civilian population has been affected can no longer be justified as a fight against hamas, and the uk said it was suspending trade talks with Israel.
Reportedly, the israeli prime minister reiterated plans to relocate Gaza’s population to the south of the territory so they can continue to fight hamas, he also wants to facilitate the voluntary emigration of some of Gaza’s population to other countries.
