The European Union is facing criticism following the death of individuals involved in the Sumud flotilla to Gaza. Spanish Member of the European Parliament, Irene Montero, has expressed regret over the EU’s perceived failure to adequately safeguard the flotilla during its attempt to protest the Israeli military’s actions. The EU has been criticized for not promptly and decisively intervening to protect the activists. The EU’s response has been deemed insufficient by some, raising concerns about international law and human rights. Investigations into the events are underway, and the EU is considering its strategy for future engagements with Israel.
