Israel is losing its nerve and is increasing its diplomatic isolation internationally. Visiting the Rafah crossing on Friday, the two prime ministers of Belgium, Alexander De Croo, and Spain, Pedro Sanchez, provoked the anger of the Hebrew state.
At a joint press conference at the Rafah crossing, they denounced the ” destruction of Gaza ” and called on Israel to recognize the Palestinian state, according to Al Jazeera.
“ Indiscriminately killing innocent civilians (in Gaza), including thousands of children, is totally unacceptable,” said Pedro Sanchez, who called for a permanent ceasefire to end this “ catastrophic situation .” The two Prime Ministers were in Israel the day before where they met their Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu.
The declarations of Pedro Sanchez and De Croo enraged Israel which responded harshly, accusing the two Belgian and Spanish Prime Ministers of “ supporting terrorism ”. never seen.
To show his anger, the Israeli foreign minister ordered the summoning of the ambassadors of Spain and Belgium for a “ severe reprimand ”. The two countries of the European Union responded in the opposite way by announcing the summoning of the Israeli ambassadors to Brussels and Madrid.
The war against Gaza: Israel attacks Spain and Belgium
This is the first since the start of the war against Gaza that Israel has so violently attacked two member countries of the European Union which, however, provided support for the right of the Jewish state to defend itself, after the Hamas attacks on Saturday, October 7.
But this support crumbled over time because of the high human toll of the Israeli response: in 50 days, the Tel Aviv army indiscriminately bombed the Palestinian enclave, already subject to an inhumane blockade for years. decades, killing more than 15,000 Palestinians including more than 6,000 children and more than 4,000 women.
After fifty days of intensive bombing on Gaza, the Jewish state concluded a truce with Hamas which came into force on Friday, November 24. The Israeli army promised a deluge of fire comparable to that which fell on the Palestinian enclave, after the end of this humanitarian and military pause which allowed the release of 50 Israeli prisoners and 150 Palestinian prisoners, including many children.
