“What Israel is doing in northern Gaza is a crime of ethnic cleansing, killing children in northern Gaza, denying them medicine, preventing UNRWA from doing its work, using starvation as a weapon in Gaza, and bombing schools, mosques and churches. These are the actions of a rogue state that the International Court of Justice is now considering a case against it for genocide, and the question is how long the world will allow Israel to inflict this destruction in Gaza, and now it is inflicting similar destruction in Lebanon, displacing more than 1.2 million Lebanese from their homes so far, and no deterring measure or even a binding resolution from the Security Council resolution saying enough is enough and that no state in this day and age can be allowed to commit all these crimes without response. And those who speak out are subjected to bullying campaigns that we’ve seen against the UN Secretary General, we’ve seen against the High Commissioner for Foreign Policy, we’ve seen against Spain, we’ve seen against
the French President. Israel is doing all of this simply because no one is stopping it from doing so. It is time for the world to act to protect its values, its laws, its principles, its joint action, and to protect children who have been deprived of their lives, their homes, their schools, their right to food, medicine, a bite of bread, or a sip of water.,” Safadi explained.
Safadi called on partners in the UfM to take effective action to preserve international law and international humanitarian law and stop its violations by Israel, saying, “Our call to all our partners in the Union for the Mediterranean, Europe was built on international law and knows the importance of preserving international law, so how can Europe not act now while this law is being violated with a crudeness that the world has not seen for years, so our call to our partners in the Union for the Mediterranean, and to the entire international community, is that enough is enough, move to save what can be saved of the credibility of interna
tional law, of multilateral action and of innocent children, women and men, who have lost everything, because in Israel there is an extremist government, in which an active minister spoke yesterday, calling for the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, a minister in a government recognized by the world calls for committing a war crime, and we have not seen a response to that either, so we call on our partners in the European Union to take action. These wars cannot continue, this aggression must stop, and the supply of weapons that Israel uses to kill innocent people must be stopped, sanctions must be imposed, our region must be protected, because whatever happens in the Middle East is immediately reflected on Europe. The region must be protected from the actions of this Israeli government.”
