11/05/2023 (Agence Europe) – The High Representative of the Union, Josep Borrell, called on Thursday 11 May for an “immediate comprehensive ceasefire”, which will put an end to Israeli military operations in Gaza and to rocket attacks against Israel. “International humanitarian law must be respected”, he warned in a statement. Stressing that the EU is “deeply concerned” by this new round of violence and the deteriorating security situation in the occupied Palestinian territories and Israel, which has resulted in “unacceptable” civilian casualties, including children, Mr Borrell explained that the EU welcomes Egypt’s efforts to bring about an immediate ceasefire. He said that the EU subscribes to the Munich Group’s declaration, which also called for an end to the violence. More info at: https://aeur.eu/f/6ud (CG)
