European Commission spokesperson Anita Hipper called on Israel to comply with all commitments under international law, including humanitarian law provisions, and to ensure the protection of civilians in all circumstances, Shehab Wire reported. The statement emphasized Israel's responsibility to safeguard civilian populations at all times.
The call comes as the EU continues to monitor developments affecting civilians in territories where Israeli military operations are underway. Hipper's remarks underscore the Commission's expectation that all parties adhere to binding legal frameworks governing armed conflict and the treatment of noncombatants.
