German Chancellor Olaf Scholz
Scholz strongly condemned the Russian missile strikes on Ukraine, stating: ''Firing missiles at defenseless civilian populations, including children, women, and the elderly, not only constitutes a severe breach of international law but also plummets to an unprecedented moral low."
However, his statement did not address similar attacks in Gaza.
"The German government and parliament stand firmly with Israel. Our nation's history obliges us to uphold our responsibility for Israel's security." Scholz said.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte
Rutte also said: "Russia's barbaric air strikes are causing civilian casualties and left millions of people without electricity.", without acknowledging the similar situation in Gaza.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
von der Leyen described Russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine as a "terrorist act".
When asked about Israel's attack on a hospital in Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians, she responded: "I require confirmation, and I am unable to provide comments at this point."
In her recent statements, she refrained from labeling the attack as an act of terrorism and did not assert that it violated international law.
EU Commissioner Oliver Varhelyi
Varhelyi said, "All payments to Palestine have been suspended" after the attack carried out by Hamas on October 7.
Meanwhile, billions of euros were paid for Ukraine from EU resources.
Canadian Defense Minister Bill Blair
Blair also did not support the ceasefire in Gaza, saying: "I have no expectation that a terrorist organization will respect international law or any call for a ceasefire. Frankly, Hamas needs to be eliminated as a threat not only to Israel but to the world."
On Russia-Ukraine war, Blair acknowledged the courage and strength of the Ukrainians and affirmed their ongoing support by providing the comprehensive military assistance needed for them to continue their fight and secure victory.
