Borrell slams US for deploring Gaza deaths while giving arms to Israel

European Union Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell on Monday urged allies of Israel — primarily the United States — to stop sending the Jewish state weapons, as “too many people” are being killed in Gaza.

“How many times have you heard the most prominent leaders and foreign ministers around the world saying: ‘Too many people are being killed’? President Biden said: ‘This is (over) the top’,” Borrell said, referring to Biden’s recent remarks.

“Well, if you believe that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide less arms in order to prevent so many people being killed.”

“Is (it) not logical?” he asked, in a Brussels news conference. “In 2006, in the war against Lebanon, the US already took this decision. They already took the decision to halt the supply of arms to Israel because Israel did not want to stop the war — exactly the same thing that happens today.”

I still don’t understand why news agencies insist on using the word slam. 99% of the time the word criticizes would be far better.

Either way, he’s right. It’s hypocritical to enable a behavior you’re criticizing

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Josep Borrell has sharply criticised the Biden administration for lamenting the growing death toll in Gaza while, at the same time, providing Israel with weapons to prop up its military campaign.

Speaking in Brussels on Monday, hours after Israeli forces bombarded the southern Gazan town of Rafah, the EU’s foreign policy chief called on Washington to stop pleading with Israel to cease the killing of civilians and to start “doing something” instead.

The reproach came hours after an appeals court in the Netherlands ordered the government to halt deliveries of parts of F-35 fighter jets to Israel for fears Dutch exports could be contributing to violations of international law in light of the ICJ ruling.

The US administration has in recent months bypassed Congress to continue sending weapons to Israel, whilst also calling for restraint in its war in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of some 28,000 Palestinians, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

Senate Democrats have in recent days pushed on the White House to consult Congress before any future arms sales to Tel Aviv, fearing American complicity in the devastation and humanitarian crisis wrecked on Gaza.

President Biden responded to those calls last Thursday with an executive order authorising the cut-off of military aid to foreign governments that do not abide by international law.
