The European Union calls on Israel to cease fire in the Gaza Strip, Borrell said.

The European Union is calling on Israel to cease fire in Gaza and respect its obligations under international law, EU Foreign Affairs Spokesman Josep Borrell said. He said the Israeli government needed to cease fire immediately to prevent further deterioration of civilian life in Gaza and to protect civilians, including Israeli hostages. This is particularly urgent in the context of an increasingly serious humanitarian catastrophe that is causing life-threatening conditions for the population, leading to hunger and permanent displacement.

Borrell also expressed concern about the destruction of sanitation systems, solid waste disposal and the deterioration of health care, which increases the spread of various diseases, especially among children. He stressed that targeting critical infrastructure is a war crime and called on all parties to take precautions to protect civilians, humanitarian workers and critical infrastructure.

The importance of ensuring urgent access to humanitarian aid for Palestinians is underlined in Borrell’s statement, as is the need to respect and implement binding International Court of Justice rulings. Any violations of international humanitarian law must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible brought to justice. The European Union expresses grave concern about the destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza, including the Rafah water treatment plant.

The statement was made in connection with the worsening situation in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe continues and urgent measures must be taken to protect the population and provide the necessary assistance.
