EU Envoy Condemns IDF Operation in Jenin Refugee Camp as Violation of International Law
A European Union envoy, Sven Kuehn von Burgsdorff, criticized Israel for its use of force during a recent military operation in the Jenin refugee camp, accusing Jerusalem of violating international law. The envoy's remarks echoed those of UN chief Antonio Guterres, who also criticized the excessive force used by Israeli forces. The operation, which included airstrikes and armored bulldozers, resulted in the deaths of 12 Palestinians, with Israel claiming they were all combatants. The envoy called for an end to the conflict and urged Israel to bring about a political solution. The UN has made a plea for funds to help rebuild the severely damaged infrastructure in the camp.
