RT by @EUCouncil: One year ago, brutal terrorist attacks by Hamas targeted innocent Israeli civilians and fuelled a spiral of violence in the Middle East with an unspeakable death toll.

A ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages is of utmost urgency. So are efforts to protect lives on the ground and de-escalate.

Europe stands firmly for peace, and for upholding international law & international humanitarian law worldwide.

RT by @EUCouncil: I condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s attack against Israel; this is a threat to regional security.

The deadly escalatory spiral in the Middle East must stop now. A regional war is in no one’s interest.

The EU stands ready to support efforts to deescalate and protect civilian lives.
