UN Palestinian Rights Committee 3d ago

Evin Incir, Member of the European Parliament, European Parliament’s Rapporteur for relations with the Palestinian Authority, argues that Israel’s stated objective of eliminating Hamas is contradicted by the civilian toll in Gaza, noting that “over 70% were children and women” and that “most of those who lost their lives, who were killed, were totally, totally innocent people.” She also points to expanding “settlements and violence towards Palestinians” in the West Bank and concludes that this was “not a mission to erase Hamas” but “actually a war against Palestinian people, and against Palestine.” Incir strongly criticizes the European Union’s response, saying that its silence “equalled complicity” and calling it “a big, big shame.” More details about the conference: https://www.un.org/unispal/committee-engagement-with-european-civil-society-organisations-in-brussels-belgium-6-may-2026/
