The United Nations humanitarian chief has hit out at Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for claiming that the recent deadly aerial assault in the southern Gaza Strip was a “mistake,” saying the carnage was possibly the “most cruel abomination.”

UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths made the remarks on Monday, one day after the Israeli strike hit a camp for displaced Palestinians in the city of Rafah and killed at least 50 people and wounded 200 others.

Ireland’s Foreign Minister Micheal Martin, meanwhile, said the European Union has for the first time engaged in a “significant” discussion on sanctioning Israel over its Gaza onslaught.

    Ireland’s Foreign Minister Micheal Martin, meanwhile, said the European Union has for the first time engaged in a “significant” discussion on sanctioning Israel over its Gaza onslaught.

    Discussions that will drag on and on and on through the end of this year when they’ll issue the zionists an ultimatum after pretending they were negotiating with them in good faith after which 6 months later maybe they’ll slap some token sanctions on or more likely back down from back-room US pressure campaigns and their renewed focus on Trump being in the white house again.

    It’s just PR and even they should know by now that “isn’t real” is a rogue state under the complete protection of the US so threats without action are meaningless to dissuade them. This is the regime that strafed and bombed a US navy ship and got an apology from the US for having their ship too close after all. They could vote to stop weapons delivers to the zionist entity for the foreseeable future right now, not even taking their stuff or refusing to sell them consumer goods or trying to arrest their officials, just blocking arms shipments and they won’t do it.

    Also notice how nowhere in any of these demands and harsher language have they admitted suppression of pro-Palestinian protestors was at any point wrong or that those people were not in fact anti-semites and were in fact upset about real crimes. The suppression of genuine movements against the zionist entity will continue no doubt.
