EU condemns Israel's attacks on Gaza
The European Union (EU) on Sunday condemned Israel's "disproportionate use of force" against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, one day after more than 60 people were killed in a land and air blitz by Israeli forces. "The Presidency condemns the recent disproportionate use of force by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) against the Palestinian population in Gaza," said a statement issued by Slovenia, which currently holds the EU's rotating presidency. Israel should exercise maximum restraint and refrain from all activities that endanger civilians, said the statement, adding that such activities are "contrary to international law." The EU rejects "collective punishment" of the people in Gaza, especially innocent children, it said.
