Slovenia Urges EU Address Uneven Response to Israel, Russia

Slovenia’s top diplomat warned the European Union risked projecting a double standard if it failed to take Israel to task for the bloodshed in the Gaza Strip even as it moves ahead with additional sanctions against Russia.

Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of violating international law and committing “clear genocidal acts” and said that the EU had failed to impose a “single real measure” against Israel.
