Today, the European Commission, alongside many EU countries and international partners, pledged a $1 billion initiative for Gaza's early recovery. This is welcome news, but commitments must now translate into urgent reconstruction on the ground. The devastating attacks by Israel's far-right government have left much of the Gaza Strip in ruins and displaced nearly its entire population of 2 million people, many of whom are now living in tents or damaged buildings. Reconstruction is essential, but so is accountability. It is high time for the EU to sanction Israel for the actions that made this reconstruction necessary.
