Europe’s ideological divergences over the war in Gaza were laid bare on Tuesday during a heated debate which focused on the word "genocide" and the EU’s paralysis over how to act over the embattled Strip.
The debate, entitled “Gaza at breaking point: EU action to combat famine, the urgent need to release hostages and move towards a two-state solution” took place in the Strasbourg hemicycle, two days before MEPs will vote on their first non-binding resolution on Gaza, the details of which are still being negotiated.
