In a letter addressed to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and other senior officials, parliamentarians stated that there is irrefutable evidence of crimes against humanity in the Palestinian territory.

The famine in Gaza is artificially created, denounced a European official quoted by the media, who compared the situation with the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

Analysts point out that the letter shows divisions within the European Union, where Germany and other countries maintain strong support for Tel Aviv despite the growing public rejection of the Israeli offensive.

Humanitarian organizations document systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure and blockage of food aid, which the International Court of Justice is investigating as possible genocide.

While Brussels is debating sanctions, Spain and Ireland are leading the way in recognizing the Palestinian state, a move that Israel calls a prize to terrorism.

The UN reports that 85 percent of Gaza’s population is displaced, with 90 percent of children suffering from acute malnutrition.
