“The pressure from the European Union with the Israeli government on Gaza is in the right direction,” PASOK MEP Nikos Papandreou said in a statement.
Mr Papandreou criticizes the Greek government for not signing the EU text and stresses that the international community cannot close its eyes to the humanitarian crisis caused by the two -month exclusion of Gaza by the Israelis.
In detail the Papandreou statement
“Gaza is on the verge of famine and no one can close their eyes to this humanitarian crisis.
The pressure from the European Union with the government of Israel is in the right direction. In contrast, it is an unpleasant fact that the Greek government’s refusal to sign such a text.
We recognize Israel’s right to self -defense and protection, but the war has rules, which is, among other things, the protection of the civilian population. “
It is well known that the Dutch government at yesterday’s EU Foreign Ministers Council has managed to concentrate its proposal by a total of 17 Member States so that the Commission would initiate a process of revising the connection agreement with Israel, which measures 25 years.
Specifically, the Commission, due to the two -month blockade of the Gaza Strip, will evaluate whether Israel has violated its human rights obligations under Article 2 of the Agreement, which describes the entire spectrum of diplomatic and economic relations between the two sides.
