Josep Borrell, the European Union's foreign policy chief, has called for an immediate end to the war in Gaza and has strongly condemned the killing of civilians in the West Bank.

Tarz Press - The EU official warned that Israel's provocative actions not only undermine the chances for achieving a ceasefire but could also make reconciliation between the two countries impossible. Borrell also criticized the role of Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister, for inciting Israel to attack Palestinians and mentioned that the EU is considering imposing sanctions on this Israeli official.

Meanwhile, Borrell has announced his three-day visit to the region, although reports indicate that Israel is not on the agenda of his regional tour. Al Arabiya reported that Israeli officials have shown reluctance to host him due to his repeated criticisms of Israel's policies.
