EU calls for halt to all violent actions in Gaza

BRUSSELS, Nov 12 (KUNA) -- The European Union (EU) expressed on Monday alarm over the escalation of violence in and around Gaza during the last hours.
"All violent actions have to stop immediately," Maja Kocijancic, spokesperson for EU High Representative, Federica Mogherini, said in a statement tonight.
The EU urged both Palestinians and Israelis to "step back from the brink and avoid any further actions that would contribute to the escalation, put civilians' lives at risk, and jeopardise recent efforts towards reducing tensions." (end) nk.mb
