Trump's envoy to Europe: EU warns Israel for Gaza truce talks

Al Jazeera :

The European Union has warned Israel of action over a worsening starvation crisis in Gaza, where the number of Palestinians who have died from starvation has risen to at least 101.

The warning from the EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, came on Tuesday, as the United States said President Donald Trump’s special envoy would be travelling to Europe for talks on a ceasefire in Gaza this week.

In a post on X, Kallas said that “all options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges” to increase humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.

She also said Israel’s killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza was “indefensible” and that she had spoken to Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Saar “to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that [Israeli military] must stop killing people at distribution points”.

Earlier this month, following an EU meeting to review the bloc’s relations with Israel over mounting criticism of its war on Gaza, Kallas said that Israel had agreed to improve the humanitarian situation in the enclave.
