EU says Israeli strikes in Gaza 'go beyond what is necessary' to fight Hamas | BBC News

The EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, has said that 'Israeli strikes in Gaza go beyond what is necessary to fight Hamas' as the death toll there continues to mount. Israeli air strikes and other military actions since it resumed the war in March following a ceasefire have killed 3,924 people, the Hamas-run health ministry said. Israel said it is acting to destroy Hamas and get back hostages the group holds. Kallas also said that the EU did not support a new aid distribution model backed by the US and Israel which bypasses the UN and other humanitarian organisations.
