The European Union condemned the killing of five journalists from Al Jazeera in an airstrike carried out by Israeli occupation forces on the city of Gaza, where the journalists were martyred while covering events in front of Al-Shifa Hospital.
Kaia Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, expressed her deep concern over the martyrdom of these journalists, highlighting the importance of protecting journalists while they perform their professional duties.
In a statement published on the X platform, Kallas affirmed that the Israeli claims that the journalists were Hamas terrorists require conclusive evidence, stressing the need to respect the rule of law.
Kallas also called on the occupying state to allow more trucks into the Gaza Strip and to better distribute humanitarian aid, given the difficult conditions faced by the residents of the area.
She pointed out that the war in Gaza is becoming more dangerous day by day, and that military solutions are not effective, adding: "If a military solution were possible, the war would have already ended."
Kallas emphasized the EU's priorities in providing humanitarian support, including enabling NGOs to access Gaza, and called for an immediate ceasefire and the release of remaining hostages.
We are aware of the Israeli claim that the group that was killed are terrorists, but conclusive evidence must be provided.
