EU foreign ministers reject suspending dialogue with Israel

European Union foreign ministers decided Monday at a meeting in Brussels to reject a proposal by foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to suspend the bloc’s diplomatic dialogue with Israel.

Speaking at his last press briefing as the bloc’s foreign policy chief following the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting, Borrell drew attention to the “apocalyptical” situation in Gaza and rapidly worsening humanitarian situation in Lebanon.

He said that "70% of the casualties (in Gaza) are children or women. In Lebanon, 100,000 houses have been destroyed. In Gaza, 2 million people (moved) from one side to the other of the Strip.
