The European Union (EU) on Wednesday condemned the demolition of a college by Israeli settlers within the occupied Palestinian territory of Zamuta, calling it a violation of worldwide humanitarian regulation.
The college, constructed with EU funds, fell sufferer to the actions of Israeli settlers, prompting a swift and vehement response from EU Commissioner for Crisis Management and Humanitarian Aid Janez Lenarcic, who acknowledged on social media platform X, “This destruction is intolerable and a violation of International Humanitarian Law.”
“The situation in the West Bank is dramatic. The impact of this last escalation on critical services, such as health and education, compounded by the dire economic situation, is catastrophic. Settler violence needs to stop,” he added.
Israel resumed its navy offensive on the Gaza Strip on Friday after the top of a weeklong humanitarian pause with the Palestinian group Hamas.
At least 16,248 Palestinians have been killed and greater than 43,616 others injured in relentless air and floor assaults on the enclave since Oct. 7 following a cross-border assault by Hamas.
The Israeli dying toll within the Hamas assault stood at 1,200, in response to official figures.
