TunisiaEU expects Israel to reconsider decision to close Kerem Shalom crossing point
The EU spokesperson issued a statement today where it is reckoned that “the Kerem Shalom crossing point, except for humanitarian supplies, and to restrict the fishing zone for Palestinians risks further aggravating the already dire economic situation in Gaza. The EU expects Israel to reverse these decisions. ”
Besides, the statement also urges Hamas and other actors in Gaza to “cease and refrain from violent actions and provocations against Israel, including the launching of incendiary kites and balloons with the aim to damage Israeli property and assets.”
The spokesperson reminded that “the European Union fully joins and supports current efforts by the UN and other partners to reduce tensions, upkeep intra-Palestinian reconciliation and improve the humanitarian and economic situation in Gaza. This must be the focus of all sides now”.
