"I think it’s a good step in the right direction, long overdue, but words are not nearly enough. We are 21 months into the war with every minute counting in terms of malnourished babies, women, men, innocent people, many, many thousands of them, the figures are not known, could die tomorrow. So I think it is absolutely essential to take action. So where I see the statement of the 28 states lacking is in an action plan. And I think the action plan is known. It needs to be to take care of an immediate
humanitarian mechanism that will replace the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Fund, which has been a colossal failure."

"I think the leverage that can be used to persuade the U.S. To act is not going to come from Europe. It’s going to from the Gulf states, principally from three Gulf states. From Qatar, from Saudi Arabia, and from the United Arab Emirates. President Trump has a very good relationship with the leaders of all three countries. Just mentioned, they have a huge amount of money that he’s interested in. Whereas he has a transactional approach to everything, I don’t think there’s that much that Europe can offer him. I think the Gulf states have an awful lot more to offer."

STORYLINE:
A UK-based Gaza analyst said Tuesday that EU countries’ latest condemnation of Israel’s action in Gaza is "long overdue" but a "good step in the right direction."

Britain threatened Tuesday to take further action against Israel if it does not agree to end the war in Gaza, a day after two dozen mostly European countries condemned Israel’s restrictions on aid shipments into the territory and the killings of hundreds of Palestinians trying to reach food.

Despite the increasingly strong words, many are sceptical that Israel will yield to such pressure without more significant punitive action — and especially without the backing of Germany and the U.S., Israel’s strongest Western allies.
