High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell has condemned the Israeli strike on a school in Gaza, which resulted in the death of over 100 civilians. Borrell expressed horror at the images from the school and emphasized that there is no justification for such massacres. He called for an immediate ceasefire to prevent further civilian casualties. Borrell also expressed support for ongoing ceasefire talks and criticized Israeli Minister Bezalel Smotrich for opposing a ceasefire.
The Israeli airstrike hit a school that was being used as a shelter in central Gaza, killing women, children, and the elderly. Palestinian authorities reported at least 100 deaths and dozens of injuries. Israel claimed that the school housed a Hamas command center, but Hamas officials denied these allegations. The facility, like many others in Gaza, served as a shelter for people displaced by the conflict.
Borrell’s strong condemnation of the Israeli strike reflects growing international concern over the escalating violence in Gaza. The EU fully supports efforts to secure a ceasefire and ensure the safe release of hostages. The high number of civilian casualties in Gaza has sparked outrage worldwide, with calls for immediate action to end the violence and protect innocent lives.
