April 10, 2003: Statement of the Presidency concerning the Israeli extra-judicial executions in Gaza |
The Presidency of the European Union expresses deep concern on the recent events in Gaza.
In such a critical moment for the region and shortly after the recent appointment of a Palestinian Prime Minister, we consider that extra-judicial executions, which also caused severe casualties among innocent civilians, are rather unwise and most counterproductive.
We call upon the Israeli government to show ultimate restraint and to avoid such actions, which can derail any effort to reach a peaceful solution to the conflict.
