According to authorities in the terrorist-controlled Gaza Strip, at least 25,000 people have been killed in the fighting in Gaza. However, given the disinformation that Hamas has spread so far, these figures are considered to be greatly exaggerated. In addition, the majority of those killed were fighters of Islamist groups.
It should also be noted that not all dead Palestinians are victims of Israeli fire. Missing rockets fired by terrorists into Israel kill many. There were also reports of cases in which militants opened fire on civilians who refused to submit to the terrorists’ demands and played the role of human shields.
Nevertheless, the EU’s top foreign policy chief, Joseph Borrell, said the “humanitarian situation” in the Gaza Strip “cannot get any worse,” adding that “peace and stability cannot be achieved through military means alone.”
“Then what other solutions do they (the Israelis) have in mind? To force the Palestinians to leave? Kill them all?” Borel asked rhetorically.
Meanwhile, Katz ignored reporters’ questions about the future of the two-state solution, emphasizing that Israel’s priority is to release the hostages and ensure its own security.
In return, al-Maliki said the EU should call for an immediate ceasefire and urged the bloc to consider imposing sanctions against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is “undermining the prospects for a two-state solution.”
However, there is no consensus among EU member states on hostilities in the Middle East. Germany, for example, as a staunch supporter of Israel, refuses to call for an immediate ceasefire advocated by countries such as Ireland and Spain.
