Kallas starts her sentence with "Under international law..." Yet, under the entire genocide in Gaza, Europe completely ignored international law. When the US attacked Venezuela, EU leaders explicitly stated that this was not the time to discuss international law. They repeated that when the US attacked Iran. But now, Kallas returns to opening her sentence with "international law." International law is not an optional feature of international relations that you invoke only when it suits you.

Under international law, transit through waterways like the Strait of Hormuz must remain open and free of charge. This is what leaders made clear in their call on reopening the Strait today. Any pay-for-passage scheme will set a dangerous precedent for global maritime routes.
