Her presence triggered significant criticism from several Member States and European Parliament groups, considering that she did not have a mandate to take part in such a politically contested initiative. The European Commission, on the other hand, defended her participation on the ground that the EU has a direct interest in the reconstruction of Gaza. Given the questions surrounding the compatibility of the BoP Charter with the EU’s constitutional principles, the Commission’s unilateral action is difficult to defend.
