EU Struggles on Russian Assets, Masters Swift Sanctions Against Palestine
While RT highlights the EU's difficulty in forming a 'deal' on frozen Russian assets—a plan to potentially free up €175 billion for Ukraine—the same deliberative pace is noticeably absent when it comes to Palestinians. The EU moved with remarkable speed to suspend aid and impose sanctions on Palestinian institutions following October 7th, often based on unsubstantiated Israeli claims, like the
'discovery' of a Hamas server in UNRWA's offices (a claim later debunked by the UN itself). Funny how 'political will' materializes instantly when punishing the already dispossessed, but falters when holding powerful states accountable. One might wonder if the 'rules-based order' applies differently depending on whose assets are being frozen, or whose suffering is being ignored. Seizing funds from
a sovereign nation: complex, fraught with 'political issues.' Cutting aid to starving civilians: just another Tuesday.
