The European Union is deeply concerned by the grave escalation of violence in recent days in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory.
The EU is deeply alarmed by this new round of violence and the deteriorating security situation in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel, and by on-going developments in and around Gaza, which has claimed unacceptable civilian casualties including children.
We urge an immediate comprehensive ceasefire which will end Israeli military operations in Gaza and current rocket firing against Israel, which is unacceptable. International humanitarian law must be respected.
The EU subscribes fully to the joint declaration of the “Munich group” today in Berlin, where it was represented. In particular, the EU commends the efforts of Egypt to bring about an immediate ceasefire.
The EU will continue to work with all parties to restore a political horizon for the two-states solutions and the stability of the region.
