Former European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, said that “American mercenaries” killed 550 Palestinians in Gaza over the course of a single month. He accused both the Council of Europe and the European Commission of remaining silent in the face of these events.
In a post on his X account on Thursday, Borrell wrote: “In 1 month 550 starving Palestinians have been killed by US mercenaries while trying to get food at the points indicated by the so called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
He described the situation as “horrendous.”
Borrell also tagged the official accounts of the Council of Europe and the European Commission in his post, accusing them of “remain unwilling to take any action against these crimes.”
