European Commission spokesman Anwar al-Anoni called on Israel to reverse its plan to expand its war on the Gaza Strip.

"The European Union is concerned about the expansion of the war on Gaza, which could lead to further loss of life and further suffering for the Palestinian people," al-Anuni said at a press conference in Brussels on Monday.

He added, "The European Union called for immediate access and distribution of humanitarian aid, as well as the restoration of electricity to Gaza and the restoration of basic services."

Al-Anuni also called on Israel to lift its blockade on Gaza to allow the distribution of humanitarian aid.
