BRUSSELS: The European Union condemned the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip, the bloc’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday.
“The EU condemns the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in an (Israeli military) airstrike 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.
An Israeli military statement accused Sharif of heading a Hamas “terrorist cell” and being “responsible for advancing rocket attacks” against Israelis.
