It should not be difficult for a bloc that says it promotes the universal application of international law both to urge the Israeli govt to stop committing war crimes, and to condemn Palestinian armed groups for their killing of Israeli civilians & hostage taking.
Yet, as the EU seems unable to reach such position, it’s up to each member states to speak up for international law & adopt measures to protect human rights & advance accountability.
