The European Union has condemned the recent breakdown of the ceasefire in Gaza, expressing deep concern over civilian deaths, including children, in Israeli airstrikes. The EU is urging Israel to cease its military operations and resume humanitarian aid delivery to Gaza. It also calls on Hamas to release all hostages immediately. In a statement, the EU stressed the need for international humanitarian law to be respected by all parties involved. The organization believes that resuming negotiations is crucial to ending the cycle of violence and achieving stability, which is necessary for swift reconstruction. However, the Rafah Crossing Point remains closed until further notice, with the EU’s EUBAM mission staying in the region pending developments.
