Why genocide experts believe Israel is guilty of the crime of crimes
A defiant Israel has agreed to allow more aid into the Gaza strip while insisting that claims of starvation are being fabricated. Since stopping aid deliveries in March more and more nations and International law experts have accused Israel not only of war crimes but of the much more serious international crime of genocide, a deeply contested claim. But what constitutes genocide and what should nations who are signatories to the UN declaration be doing to stop it?

EU sees limited progress on Gaza aid despite Israel deal, says EU foreign policy chief
There have been some signs of more trucks and supplies getting to Gaza but the European Union doesn't see enough improvement on the ground, the EU's foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday, ahead of a meeting with senior Middle Eastern and EU officials in Brussels. The EU reached an agreement with Israel last week to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza strip, including increasing aid trucks and opening crossing points and certain aid routes. Meanwhile, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said 'nothing has changed' since an agreement between Israel and the European Union on the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza. He made the statements to reporters ahead of the EU-Middle East meeting in Brussels on Monday.
