The European United Left group of MEPs has demanded the abolition of partnership agreements with Israel due to its indiscriminate aggression against the Palestinians, Arabs48.com reported on Friday. The demand was made in the wake of the acknowledgement by dozens of Israeli soldiers who took part in the last summer's Israeli offensive in Gaza that they targeted civilians intentionally; some claimed that they targeted Palestinians "for fun".
In a statement issued on Friday, a spokesperson for the EU group, Angel Vaina, demanded that Europe's Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini answer several questions regarding the Israeli human rights abuses. Beside the witness statements of the Israeli soldiers, he noted, there is a UN report which proves that Israel killed 44 civilians and wounded 227 others in UN shelters during the Israeli war against Palestinian civilians.
Vaina said that the Geneva Conventions ban aggression against the offices of humanitarian organisations. "As such, we demand an end to economic preferences and dealing with this aggressive state."
