“Israel is committing the largest ethnic cleansing operation in Gaza” – Ex-EU chief

Former European Union Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, calling the war “the largest ethnic cleansing operation since the end of the Second World War.”

Speaking in Spain on Friday while accepting the Charles V European Award, Borrell condemned Israel’s actions and described its intentions as turning Gaza into “a splendid holiday destination once all the millions of tonnes of rubble have been cleared and the Palestinians have died or gone away.”

He cited Israeli leaders’ rhetoric as “clear declarations of genocidal intent,” and said, “seldom have I heard the leader of a state so clearly outline a plan that fits the legal definition of genocide.”

Borrell criticised the US and Europe for their complicity, stating, “Half of the bombs that are falling on Gaza are supplied by the Americans,” making it impossible for Washington to claim neutrality.

“Nothing has been getting into Gaza. Nothing: no water, no food, no electricity, no fuel, no medical services,” he said, adding that “three times more explosive power has been dropped on Gaza than was used in the Hiroshima bomb.”

As for Europe, he said it “has the capacity and the means not only to protest but also to influence Israel’s conduct. But it is not doing so.”
