Paris: One of the European Union's most senior officials on Thursday called the war in Gaza a "genocide", ramping up criticism of Israel and slamming the 27-nation bloc for failing to act to stop it.
"The genocide in Gaza exposes Europe's failure to act and speak with one voice," European Commission vice president Teresa Ribera said during a speech in Paris.
