Israel began its most intense strike in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday since the January 19 ceasefire with Hamas in Palestine ended a war of more than 15 months.
Kaja Kallas, head of foreign policy for the EU, said he asked Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar, “Why are you doing this?” Western Media reported during Tuesday’s conversation.
Crows said it conveyed the “message that this is unacceptable” and specifically referred to the “loss of civilian lives.”
The health ministry on the stagnant enclave said the bombing that came after consultations collapsed by extending the ceasefire killed more than 400 people.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened late Tuesday that the strike was “only the beginning” and that future negotiations with Hamas “will only take place under fire.”
Karas said he needed to bring together Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to discuss the situation with the “Arab Quint” and add that diplomatic pressure on the Israeli regime should be increased.
