I made clear my deep concern over Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip in the statements I issued on 13, 14 and 19 May. These acts have attracted widespread international condemnation, including from the Secretary General of the United Nations. The Israeli actions in Gaza were also the subject of United Nations Security Resolution 1544, adopted on 19 May.
The situation in the Middle East is a regular item on the agenda of the Council of the European Union and will feature in our discussions on 14 June. The situation in the Middle East will also be discussed by heads of state and government at the European Council on 17 June.
