Tsjechisch voorzitterschap kritisch over inzet grondtroepen Israël (en)

Met dank overgenomen van Tsjechisch voorzitterschap Europese Unie 1e helft 2009, gepubliceerd op zondag 4 januari 2009.

It is not surprising that the Israeli forces have launched land operations in the Gaza Strip. There were indications that Israel had been considering this step.

But even the undisputable right of the state to defend itself does not allow actions which largely affect civilians.

We call for the facilitation of humanitarian aid to the ihabitants of the Gaza Strip, and in accordance with the position agreed by the EU Foreign Ministers in Paris on the 30th December 2008 we call for the establishment of a ceasefire.
