Senior EU official suggests Israel's war in Gaza 'looks very much' like 'genocide'

The European Union’s No. 2 official suggested that Israel’s war in Gaza “looks very much” like “genocide,” the single strongest condemnation of Israel by a senior EU official since the conflict started.

Speaking with Politico, European Commission Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera upped the ante in the diplomatic standoff over Gaza by coming within a hair’s breadth of accusing Israel of the cardinal sin of human rights. Israel’s current actions taken against Gaza, she argued, either constitute or toe a very thin line between genocide and other crimes against humanity.
