AhlulBayt News Agency: Former EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, has strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for labeling Western political leaders who criticize Israel as antisemitic. He described this practice as “despicable.”
Speaking in an interview with Spain’s La Sexta television channel on Tuesday, Borrell stated that Netanyahu responds to every criticism by accusing opponents of antisemitism. He argued that branding those who criticize Israeli actions as antisemitic is unacceptable.
Borrell also accused Netanyahu of committing genocide and attempting to eradicate the Palestinian people. He stated that the definition of genocide aligns precisely with statements made by the Israeli Defense Minister.
Additionally, Borrell condemned the violence and repression carried out by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. He asserted that Palestinians in the region are living under an apartheid regime, facing occupation and systematic denial of their rights.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been conducting military operations in Gaza with the backing of the US and Europe. These actions have resulted in over 177,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, the majority of whom are women and children. More than 14,000 others remain missing.
