If it truly stands for the rule of law, the EU cannot let these draconian measures obstruct the pursuit of justice for Israel’s crimes at the ICC.

Unequivocal op-ed co-authored by our director on the failure of @kajakallas.bsky.social’s Gaza 'deal': "Presented as a great diplomatic breakthrough [...] this so-called 'deal' has proven to be little more than a symbolic gesture and a way for Israel to buy more time, when there is no time left."
A month on, Kallas' meaningless Gaza 'deal' has failed
A month on, Kallas' meaningless Gaza 'deal' has failed
During the past month, there has been no visible improvement on the ground. Presented as a great diplomatic breakthrough EU foreign affairs chief Kaja Kallas' so-called “deal” has proven to be little more than a symbolic gesture and a way for Israel to buy more time, when there is no time left.

We are appalled by empty statements that lack corresponding action. If Western states were truly committed to ending Israel’s war on Gaza or ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians, they would impose sanctions on Israel & members of its cabinet & implement an arms embargo.

On 7 May, we warned Israel was planning to escalate the genocide in Gaza with the stated aim to seize the territory & forcibly expel Palestinians.
This is no longer a threat. The plan is being carried out.
The tools to stop it exist: sanctions & arms embargo.
