\n

The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the Commission, issued the following statement today: <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

"I strongly condemn the recent rocket attacks on Israel, for which the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which is listed by the EU as a terrorist organization, has claimed responsibility. There can be absolutely no justification for the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians, and I call for an immediate end to such acts. <\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The European Union, recalling its support to the consolidation of the ceasefire of 21 November 2012, urges maximum restraint in order to prevent a further escalation and calls for an end to all violence. <\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The situation in the Gaza Strip, including the deteriorating humanitarian conditions, underlines once more the urgent need to bring a solution to the conflict. The on-going negotiations are a unique opportunity to move towards a two-state solution so that Israelis and Palestinians can finally live in peace and security. In this context, I also regret the recent incidents that led to the loss of life in the West Bank. The European Union will continue to work with all those with influence to achieve a peaceful solution." <\/i><\/p><\/div>\n
