The European Union on Tuesday hinted it would sanction Israel over the delivery of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, despite Israeli rebuttals of Hamas claims the IDF has targeted civilians at aid distribution sites.
On Tuesday, European Union foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas took to X to warn that the EU would consider “all options” against Israel should it fail to uphold an understanding reached between the two countries earlier this month.
“The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible,” Kallas tweeted.
“I spoke again with Gideon Sa’ar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges.”
Kallas spoke with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar during a summit in Brussels last week, during which Sa’ar lobbied the EU not to back efforts by some member states to sanction Israel and to downgrade ties with the Jewish state.
During his meeting with Kallas, Sa’ar defended Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip, pushing back on accusations that the IDF has targeted civilians waiting outside aid sites, and claims that Israel has limited the flow of humanitarian aid.
