Ties between European countries and Israel hit rock bottom as Spain, Ireland and Norway prepare to recognise State of Palestinian, with Madrid pushing for sanctions against Tel Aviv over its massacres in besieged Gaza.

At the same time, the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell threw his weight to support the International Criminal Court, whose prosecutor is seeking an arrest warrant against hawkish Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others, including leaders of Hamas. Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares slammed the comments, and said his colleagues from Ireland and Norway were"also receiving absolutely unjustified and absolutely reprehensible provocations from our Israeli colleague" because of their plans to recognise Palestine.
Borrell said the actions of the Israeli government, including plans to stop transferring tax revenue earmarked for the Palestinian Authority, could no longer be reconciled with the idea he had about the state of Israel. The latest attacks have centered on Rafah, where Israeli air strikes killed at least 45 people on Sunday, burning alive displaced Palestinians in their tents, decapitating some babies and wounding 250 others.If these are precision missiles, then these kids are killed deliberately.
