EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has accused Israel of violating international law by imposing a total blockade of Gaza in response to Saturday’s attack by Hamas. He also underscored the need for the bloc to continue funding the Palestinian Authority.
“Israel has the right to defend [itself], but it has to be done [in accordance with] international law, humanitarian law, and some decisions are contrary to international law,” he told reporters in Oman’s capital, Muscat.
