Brussels(The COW News Digital) A senior European Union commissioner has strongly condemned recent Israeli attacks, declaring them a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and calling for strict adherence to international humanitarian law. The statement adds to growing international concern over the fragile truce and the worsening humanitarian situation in the region.
In a post shared on social media platform X, the European commissioner criticized Israel’s actions, stating that continued military strikes undermine efforts to maintain the ceasefire and escalate tensions further. The commissioner emphasized that all parties involved in the conflict bear responsibility for respecting the terms of the ceasefire and protecting civilian lives.
The EU official stressed that international humanitarian law must be upheld at all times, regardless of political or military objectives. “The protection of civilians is not optional,” the commissioner said, noting that civilians must be safeguarded everywhere and under all circumstances. The remarks reflect the European Union’s long-standing position on the need to prioritize human rights and civilian safety in conflict zones.

The latest condemnation comes amid reports of renewed Israeli strikes in Gaza, raising fears that the ceasefire could collapse entirely. Aid agencies have warned that any further escalation would have devastating consequences for civilians already facing shortages of food, medical supplies, and basic services after months of conflict.
The European Union has repeatedly called for restraint, de-escalation, and full compliance with ceasefire agreements. EU officials argue that sustained violations risk derailing diplomatic efforts aimed at achieving a lasting peace and could further destabilize the wider Middle East region. Brussels has also urged all sides to allow unhindered humanitarian access to affected areas.
Observers note that the EU’s criticism reflects increasing frustration among European leaders over repeated breaches of ceasefire commitments. While the bloc maintains diplomatic relations with Israel, it has become more vocal in highlighting concerns related to civilian casualties and the humanitarian impact of military operations.
The commissioner for equality, who issued the latest statement, reiterated that the safety and dignity of civilians must remain central to any military or political decision. She added that accountability and respect for international norms are essential for building trust and preventing future violence.
As tensions remain high, international mediators continue efforts to preserve the ceasefire and push for renewed dialogue. However, analysts warn that without concrete steps to enforce compliance and protect civilians, the risk of further escalation will remain significant. The coming days are expected to be crucial in determining whether diplomatic pressure can prevent a return to full-scale hostilities.
