EU calls for ‘maximum restraint’ after Hamas chief’s killing

The European Union urges all sides to avoid escalation after Hamas said its political leader Ismail Haniyeh had been killed in an Israeli strike on Iran’s capital.

“We call on all parties to exert maximum restraint and avoid any further escalation,” EU spokesman Peter Stano says. “No country and no nation stand to gain from a further escalation in the Middle East.”
