The European Union (EU) has voiced concern over Israel's planned military escalation in Gaza, calling for maximum restraint.
On Monday, European Commission spokesperson Anouar El Anouni expressed the EU's deep concern following Israeli security cabinet's approval to expand military operations in the Gaza Strip. The EU warned that such actions could lead to further casualties and exacerbate the suffering of the Palestinian population.
Anouni emphasized that negotiations remain the only viable path to securing the release of hostages and ending all hostilities. The EU also called on Israel to lift the blockade on Gaza to enable the delivery of large-scale humanitarian aid.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Monday that the country's new offensive in the Gaza Strip would be "intensive", referring to a plan approved by his security cabinet on escalating the ongoing campaign in Gaza.
The security cabinet voted overnight in favor of the plan, under which Israel would expand the offensive to seize Gaza, control aid, and relocate the population to the south of the enclave.
On Monday, Hamas denounced Israel's new aid distribution plan as "political blackmail". In a press statement, Hamas argued that the plan would convert humanitarian aid into a political tool, violate international law, and contribute to "starvation and forced displacement" in the coastal enclave. Notably, the faction has yet to make a response to the Israeli threat to expand its military campaign.
Israel has prevented goods and supplies from entering Gaza since March 2, after the first phase of a January ceasefire agreement with Hamas expired. It argued that the aid blockade aims to prevent Hamas from seizing control of supplies and to pressure the faction into accepting its offer for extending the first phase of the truce deal.
On March 18, Israel resumed military assaults in Gaza, effectively ending the phased truce. According to an update by the health authorities in Gaza on Monday, the renewed Israeli strikes have killed 2,459 Palestinians in Gaza, bringing the overall death toll since the conflict began in October 2023 to 52,567.
Several rounds of mediated talks have been held recently, but all have failed to restore the Gaza ceasefire due to differences between the parties.
