Israeli-Palestinian tensions rose after an Italian tourist was killed and five others were injured after a pedestrian press at Tel Aviv on 7 April. This event took place after a gun attack on the occupied West Coast, where two Israelite sisters were killed.
Green has the right to defend itself. At the same time, any response should be proportional. The EU calls for immediate division of violence. Everything must be done to prevent the conflict from spreading”, Borrell said through a statement.
“We call on all sides to show maximum restraint, avoid escalation and further and promote calm during religious holidays”, he added.
During this month there are several religious festivals, such as the sacred month of Ramadan, the Jewish Passover, and the Christian Passover.
