EU Leaders Unite in Urgent Call for Gaza Ceasefire

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has called on EU leaders to take a stronger stance and call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, stating that the EU has lost credibility due to perceived double standards. Varadkar, along with the prime ministers of Spain, Belgium, and Malta, wrote to the European Council President urging for a serious debate on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. A majority of nations at the UN General Assembly voted in favor of a resolution for a ceasefire, with 17 EU countries supporting the call. Despite international pressure, Israel has shown no signs of scaling down its assault on Gaza.
