The plan is a response to US President Donald Trump’s proposal that the US could seize control of the Gaza Strip and turn it into ‘the Riviera of the Middle East.’

Britain, France, Germany and Italy on Saturday, March 8, backed a proposal by Muslim-majority nations to rebuild Gaza. The counter-proposal to US President Donald Trump’s plan to take over Gaza and displace its residents “promises – if implemented – swift and sustainable improvement of the catastrophic living conditions for the Palestinians living in Gaza,” the foreign ministers of the four countries said in a joint statement.

    I want EU to grow balls and provide aid to Gaza from the sea.

      Without a proper harbour that is actually surprisingly difficult. There are some special ship types that can do it without, but they are pretty rare.

        This was a year ago. As long people are starving there then we’re not delivering enough aid. Make USA and Israel uncomfortable because what are they going to do about it? Shoot at it? They could shoot at some nameless organisation, reporters or at toothless UN but can they shoot at foreign military delivering humanitarian aid in accord with international law which compels us to prevent genocide?

        There is both moral and legal grounds for humanitarian aid. I’m sure I don’t need to explain moral ones but UN recognises responsibility to protect as a part of international law. EU should be upholding international rule based order. It’ll also piss US off, but we no longer need to walk on eggshells.
