BRUSSELS, Belgium - European Council chief Charles Michel called a video-summit of EU leaders for next week to discuss the Israel-Hamas war, as the conflict entered its second week Saturday."It is of utmost importance that the European Council, in line with the Treaties and our values, sets our common position and establishes a clear unified course of action that reflects the complexity of the unfolding situation," he said in a statement.
Health officials in Gaza say more than 2,200 people have been killed. As on the Israeli side, most of them were civilians. "We stand in full solidarity with the people of Israel and the victims of the terrorist attacks," wrote Michel in his statement. "Israel has the right to defend itself in full compliance with international law, in particular international humanitarian law."
He added:"The unfolding tragic scenes in the Gaza Strip resulting from the siege and the lack of basic needs combined with the destruction brought by significant shelling, are raising alarm bells in the international community."
