The call for an immediate ceasefire is more urgent than ever.
In response to the Foreign Affairs Council meeting on 27 May 2024, the ETUC reiterates our call on the EU to use all leverage to secure an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages, and concrete measures to ensure the government of Israel’s compliance with the ICJ ruling concerning the halting of military operations in Rafah and allowing the access of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
The ETUC welcomes the decision of the European Union ministers to convene a meeting of the EU-Israel Association Council to assess compliance with the association agreement’s human rights obligations.
The ETUC supports the call by the EU on the government of Israel to stop blocking the funding that will allow the functioning and survival of the Palestinian Authority.
