Question for written answer E-000797/2025
to the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy
Rule 144
Bert-Jan Ruissen (ECR)
Regardless of any plans for rebuilding Gaza, the US Administration is clear about one thing: there is no place for Hamas in Gaza’s future. Anyone who grasps the gravity of the events of 7 October 2023 and saw Hamas’s recent repugnant demonstration of power when hostages were released and the bodies of murdered Israelis were handed over will agree that that is the right position. The EU’s position, however, is unclear.
- 1.Does the EU still regard Hamas as a terrorist organisation?
- 2.Does the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy agree that a terrorist organisation should not be treated as a legitimate administration or political actor?
- 3.Does the VP/HR agree that Hamas has no place in future plans for Gaza?
