European Union leaders are aiming to endorse a United Nations call for a “humanitarian pause” in the Israel-Hamas war to allow for the distribution of aid in Gaza.
As the bloc grapples with how to support Israel’s efforts to fight the militant Hamas group while protecting civilians caught in the cross-fire, the 27 EU leaders are also set to pledge to work closely with regional partners to bolster humanitarian relief efforts, according to draft conclusions for a leaders’ summit in Brussels later this week.
