EU staff working around the world have criticised European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's position of 'unconditional support' to Israel, in a letter seen by Euractiv.

"Notably, we are concerned about the unconditional support by the European Commission you represent, for one of the two parties”, EU staff stated in a three-page letter, which was sent to von der Leyen’s office on Friday (20 October).

The letter has allegedly been sent to EU delegations around the world, including the European Commission’s representation offices. Around 32,000 people are on the EU staff payroll. Close to 850 staff are believed to have already signed the letter.

      You are certainly very optimistic, I think this will reenforce his position and in the end save his ass and restructuring attempts but we will see! Of course it’s about the Israelis and they have every right to defend themself which the EU and US should certainly support, I just think their current government can’t be trusted so unconditional support is probably the wrong approach and we should keep a very close eye on their actions as well! What annoys me most in the debates around this conflict is that ether side seems to believe absolutely everything their side claims immediately and feels the need to share it before we have any confirmation (see the hospital bombing), fuck everyone who dose that!
