Spain’s foreign minister urged the EU to do more about the attacks on Gaza and warned that the bloc’s double standards on Palestinians and Ukraine are growing more and more obvious, Anadolu Agency reports.
“It’s a matter of upholding international law. If the EU doesn’t speak united on that, I don’t know who in the world will,” said Jose Manuel Albares at a European Council on Foreign Relations conference in Madrid.
Albares lamented how the EU was able to speak with one voice on Russia’s attack on Ukraine and Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel last Oct. 7 but not on Israel’s apparent violations of international legal conventions.
