EU condemns Israel’s killing of Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza

European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has issued the bloc’s response to the latest developments. “The EU condemns the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in an air strike outside al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, including the Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif,” she said after EU foreign ministers discussed the war in virtual talks. “We take note of the Israeli allegation that the group was Hamas terrorists, but there is a need in these cases to provide clear evidence, in the respect of rule of law, to avoid targeting of journalists,” she said in a statement on X.
