BRUSSELS, Belgium — The EU condemns a deadly shooting by Palestinian terrorists at Ramot Junction in Jerusalem, and says it underscores the urgent need for a ceasefire as Israel wages war in Gaza.
“We condemn this attack, as we condemn all loss of lives,” European Union spokesman Anouar El Anouni says. “We call for de-escalation, and this shows how necessary and critical a ceasefire is.
“Civilians on both sides, both Palestinians and Israelis, have suffered for far too long and far too much. And this must end now, and it is high time to break this cycle of violence.”
