Some 40 MEPs from the left and right of the political spectrum are urging the EU to take ‘decisive’ action over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying that the ‘time for moral cowardice is over’. (…)

The 40 signatories also press on the Commission to suspend the EU’s Association Agreement with Israel, which defines the trading and political relations between both sides, and which has often been touted as the best tool at the EU‘s disposal to pressure Israel into improving a spiralling humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
