Question for written answer E-001794/2025
to the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Rule 144
Lynn Boylan (The Left)
In the early hours of 2 May 2025, the Conscience – a vessel that is part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla – was attacked by a drone in international waters and sustained significant damage.
The Gaza Freedom Flotilla is seeking to break the blockade of Gaza, which is now so severe that no humanitarian aid has entered since the ceasefire was broken by Israel in March 2025. EU citizens were present, on board the ship, when it was attacked.
Thus far, Israeli officials have refused to comment on the attack.
Will the VP/HR:
- 1.Demand full transparency and accountability for this attack?
- 2.Demand an immediate end to Israel’s blockade of Gaza?
- 3.Ensure that there are diplomatic and political consequences for attacks on any humanitarian workers – including EU citizens?
