02/10/2015 (Agence Europe) - EU criticises murder of Israeli couple. On Friday 2 October, the spokesperson for High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini criticised the shooting in the West Bank of a couple from the Israeli settlements, who now leave behind four orphans. Mogherini's spokesperson called for the perpetrators of this act to be brought to justice. “We mourn once again the loss of human lives (…) Once again, civilians have been targeted so as to cause terrible suffering and to try to undermine any possibility of a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict”, the spokesperson said, calling for restraint and calm from all parties “to ensure that the violence witnessed today and in recent months does not aggravate the situation further”. “On the contrary, the continuing loss of life highlights once more the necessity for a political solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict”, Mogherini's spokesperson concluded.
