Josep Borrell on Gaza

EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell condemned a recent Israeli airstrike on a school in Gaza that reportedly killed over 100 Palestinians, including women and children. He described the incident as a 'horrific massacre' and expressed horror at the images emerging from the site, where many displaced individuals were sheltering. Borrell emphasized that there is 'no justification for these massacres' and called for a ceasefire to address the escalating violence. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) countered that the school was being used for military purposes by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, disputing the casualty figures presented by Gaza officials. This incident is part of a troubling trend, as at least 10 schools have been targeted in recent weeks, raising serious concerns about civilian safety in the ongoing conflict. The situation has triggered widespread international outrage and calls for accountability from various global leaders.
