[based on speech given to US Senate]
"Thursday marks 68 days and counting since ANY humanitarian aid was allowed into Gaza. For more than nine weeks, Israel has blocked all supplies: no food, no water, no medicine, and no fuel.
Hundreds of truckloads of lifesaving supplies are waiting to enter Gaza, sitting just across the border, but are denied entry by Israeli authorities.
… Defense Minister Israel Katz said, “Israel’s policy is clear: No humanitarian aid will enter Gaza, and blocking this aid is one of the main pressure levers.” "
China frequently criticizes Israel, and has flown aid directly into Palestine. They’re a non-interventionalist nation, and have their own issues to work through, especially with the trade war ramping up and risks of a potential hot war. You want them to get themselves cut off from the global economy by attacking Israel or something?
No I think the EU should do it, as they are part of NATO. That’s the message that needs to be sent. Which I think won’t ever happen.
You might wanna check for a source on that though. While China has supplied aid in the form of money and supplies which have reached Gaza through Egypt (Rafah crossing). They have not landed a plane or airdropped anything into Gaza or the broader Palestine areas. There were a few social media claims, but they aren’t real.
So you’d rather have EU declare war on the usa?
