Europe’s top diplomats are assessing a new deal with Israel to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, according to Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief.
Foreign ministers from the EU’s 27-member nations were set to meet on Tuesday in Brussels in the wake of a new aid deal for Gaza largely forged by Kallas and Israeli foreign minister Gideon Saar, who met with EU leaders on Monday, to allow desperately needed food and fuel into the coastal enclave of 2.3 million people who have endured more than 21 months of war.
“We have reached a common understanding with Israel to really improve the situation on the ground, but it’s not about the paper, but actually implementation of the paper,” Kallas said. The ministers will also discuss Iran’s nuclear program and new sanctions on Russia.
Netanyahu’s ruling coalition rattled
An Israeli ultra-Orthodox party that has been a key governing partner of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said early Tuesday it was leaving the coalition government, threatening to destabilise the Israeli leader’s rule at a pivotal time in the war in Gaza. United Torah Judaism’s two factions said they were bolting the government over disagreements surrounding a bill that would codify broad military draft exemptions for their constituents, many of whom study Jewish texts instead of enlisting in the military.
