Brussels (Quds News Network)- European Union aid chief Hadja Lahbib stated that Israel has not yet fully implemented an agreement with the EU aimed at improving the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which has been under a suffocating blockade since March and relentless bombardment. “We have [seen] some positive developments. It’s true that we have trucks that are able to enter, but we don’t know exactly how many. And what is clear is that the agreement is not fully implemented,” she told reporters ahead of a meeting EU foreign ministers in Brussels. Last week, the EU reached an agreement with Israel to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, including increasing aid trucks and opening crossing points and certain aid routes. On Monday, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said that the flow of aid into Gaza has not increased despite the deal. “Nothing has changed [on the ground],” he told reporters. On Tuesday, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said that Israel needs to take more steps to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza, as some European countries press for ways to verify the terms of an EU-Israel deal on aid deliveries. “We see some positive signs when it comes to border crossings, we see some positive signs of them reconstructing electricity lines … providing water, also more trucks of humanitarian aid coming in,” Kallas told reporters on her way into the gathering of foreign ministers in Brussels. “But of course we need to see more in order to see real improvement for people on the ground.” “I want to know better what this agreement is about but also the mechanism of follow-up that the European Union will have to check the implementation,” said Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares. Kallas is due to present a list of options to downgrade EU-Israel relations, ranging from a suspension of trade relations to fewer student exchanges. European nations like Ireland, the Netherlands and Spain have increasingly called for the EU’s ties with Israel to be reassessed in the wake of the war in Gaza. This follows a report by the European Commission found “indications” that Israel’s actions in Gaza are violating human rights obligations in the agreement governing its ties with the EU, but the bloc is divided over what to do in response. Dozens of protesters in Brussels called for more aggressive actions by Europe to stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza. “It was able to do this for Russia,” said Alexis Deswaef, vice president of the International Federation for Human Rights. “It must now agree on a package of sanctions for Israel to end the genocide and for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.” Human rights groups largely called the EU’s actions as insufficient. “This is more than political cowardice,” said Agnès Callamard, secretary general on Amnesty International. “Every time the EU fails to act, the risk of complicity in Israel’s actions grows. This sends an extremely dangerous message to perpetrators of atrocity crimes that they will not only go unpunished but be rewarded.”
