The EU may take action to increase pressure on Israel unless there are “concrete” improvements for the inhabitants of Gaza, its foreign policy chief has said.
After meeting the bloc’s foreign ministers in Brussels, Kaja Kallas said it was “very clear” that Israel had breached its human rights commitments in Gaza and the West Bank.
She said if the situation for Palestinians did not improve, the EU could discuss “further measures and come back t\\]]s in July”.
But Kallas declined to spell out details: “The concrete question is what then we [the EU] are able to agree?
“But right now, the most important thing is to improve the situation on the ground, improve the lives of people in Palestine and stop the suffering and also human toll that we see there every day.”
