US EditionJosep Borrell: Israel ethnic cleansing Gaza for 'holiday destination'
- Josep Borrell, former EU foreign policy chief, accused Israel on Friday of ethnic cleansing Gaza to create a holiday destination during an award ceremony in Spain.
- Borrell made these claims amid Israel’s war on Gaza since October 2023, with escalating bombings dropping explosive power reportedly three times Hiroshima’s and over 50,000 deaths.

- He urged Europe to play an active role in shaping Israel’s actions by insisting on compliance with international humanitarian laws and reducing the supply of weapons to help avert further humanitarian disaster.
