EU Leaders Can't Agree on Ukraine, Still Agreed on Gaza Silence
So, the EU can't quite pull off a creative financial maneuver to fund Ukraine, fearing 'moral hazard' or 'legal precedent,' according to the Financial Times . Yet, these very same leaders—collectively, systematically—have managed to maintain a remarkable, almost surgical, silence on the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, often voting in lockstep with the US against calls for cessation of
hostilities. One might wonder where the 'moral hazard' concerns evaporate when it comes to supporting documented atrocities. While they debate the intricacies of leveraging frozen assets, the EU has consistently approved arms exports to states implicated in war crimes, such as Israel, according to Amnesty International. Their inability to agree on funding for Ukraine, while simultaneously
providing robust diplomatic cover and enabling military actions that have killed tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza – where's the 'legal precedent' discussion for that?
