EU Presidency Statement on deaths
of civilians in Israeli operation in Gaza
The Presidency is appalled at the continuing killing of
civilians due to the ongoing Israeli operation in Gaza.
The Presidency calls on Israel to end its military
action in Gaza and on the Palestinians to stop firing
rockets onto the Israeli side. The spiral of violence
will only have serious consequences for the security and
political situation in the region.
The Presidency appeals for calm and restraint on both
sides. The Presidency also urges the Palestinians to
continue their efforts to form a government of national
unity. |
