BRUSSELS — In one of Brussels’ strongest condemnations of Israel since the war began, a top European Union official said the starvation, displacement and killing in Gaza “looks very much” like genocide.

In comments to POLITICO’s Brussels Playbook on Thursday, European Commission Executive Vice President Teresa Ribera said: “What we are seeing is a concrete population being targeted, killed and condemned to starve to death. A concrete population is confined, with no homes — being destroyed — no food, water or medicines — being forbidden to access — and subject to bombing and shooting even when they are trying to get humanitarian aid. Any humanity is absent, and no witness[es] are allowed.”

She concluded: “If it is not genocide, it looks very much like the definition used to express its meaning.”
