EU Struggles to Find United Voice on Gaza
The European Union has once again struggled to find a unified voice among its 27 members in addressing the conflict in Gaza, with some countries calling for increased support while others urged restraint. This divide has been particularly evident in the EU's response to the June 2022 war, with some countries advocating for increased humanitarian aid and others calling for a more cautious approach. The EU has long been criticized for its lack of cohesion on global crises, and its response to the situation in Gaza is no exception. The top EU diplomat, Josep Borrell, acknowledged the disparity, stating that the union has yet to find a common line on the issue due to differing views on the legality of military action and the appropriateness of a stronger stance. These divisions highlight the complex nature of foreign policy decision-making within the EU.
