Foreign ministers from 28 nations and the European Union’s humanitarian aid commissioner have condemned Israel for what they call “inhumane killing of civilians” in a joint statement. The statement, issued on Monday, criticized Israel for its response to humanitarian crises in Gaza, where over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking basic necessities like water and food.
In response, Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected the statement, claiming it is “disconnected from reality” and sends the wrong message to Hamas. The statement coincides with ongoing ceasefire negotiations championed by US President Donald Trump’s administration, which Israel claims would be undermined by such criticism at this time.
