EU Urges Israel to Respect UN, Control Settler Violence Amid Gaza Conflict

The EU's foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, has urged Israel to respect UN court rulings, halt its military offensive in Gaza, and address settler violence in the West Bank. This comes amid increased international pressure on Israel and recent moves by Norway, Spain, and Ireland to recognize a Palestinian state. Borrell also criticized Israel's financial pressure on the Palestinian Authority and called for the release of withheld tax revenues.
