“GAZA IS A GRAVEYARD FOR PRINCIPLES OF HUMANITARIAN LAW”
March 19, 2024
In a bold and provocative statement, European Union foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, yesterday said that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza had turned the territory into the world’s biggest “open-air graveyard.”
“Gaza was, before the war, the greatest open-air prison. Today it’s the greatest open-air graveyard,” Borrell said at a meeting of EU ministers in Brussels.
“It’s a graveyard for tens of thousands of people and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law.”
Borrell also reiterated his accusation that Israel was using famine as a “weapon of war” by not allowing aid trucks into Gaza.
“Israel is provoking famine,” he told a humanitarian conference. Israel’s Foreign Minister Israel Katz hit back at Borrell and told him to “to stop attacking Israel and recognise our right to self-defence against Hamas’ crimes.”
THERE IS NO SELF-DEFENCE FOR STARVING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE!

Joseph Borell: Then the Middle East, the situation in Gaza. Gaza was before the war, the greatest open-air-prison. Today’s the greatest open-air graveyard, a graveyard for tens of thousands of people and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law. This is the sad situation in Gaza. As you have seen, chancellor Schulz saying that Europeans can not sit and watch how Palestinian people are starving when, on the Egyptian side of the border there is food for months, accumulated in the stocks. Why on the other side of the border, people are dying of hunger? Well, this is something that requires some reaction. Not just expressing concern, but taking decisions.
