The Government Media Office (GMO) in Gaza has expressed its deep shock and anger at the official European stance, conveyed during the recent meeting of foreign ministers in Brussels, which highlighted the moral and political failure of the European Union (EU) in confronting the genocide committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza for 650 consecutive days.

In a statement issued Friday, the GMO said that the remarks by former EU High Representative Josep Borrell—where he said, “Europe has decided not to punish Israel and to allow the genocide to continue unrelentingly”, serve as damning testimony from within the European institution itself regarding the extent of Western complicity.

The statement stressed that the EU has crossed all red lines as it watches 2.4 million Palestinian civilians being slaughtered, starved, and forcibly displaced mercilessly, without activating a single accountability mechanism, even though the Israeli occupation authorities are clearly violating the human rights clause in the EU partnership agreement.

It added that limiting its role to “closely monitoring” is a betrayal of the humanitarian values Europeans often proclaim, and the absence of any punitive action is a green light for the continued massacres against civilians with explicit European approval.

The GMO held the EU fully responsible, politically and morally, for this ongoing crime and called on the EU to end its policy of hypocrisy, complicity, and double standards, to immediately suspend the partnership agreement with Israel, and to hold Israel accountable for its crimes, including prosecuting Israeli war criminals.
