BRUSSELS—The European Union called Monday for an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza violence, condemning rocket attacks on Israel and calling on Israel to react "proportionately."In a statement after foreign ministers discussed the crisis for several hours Monday afternoon, the EU's 27 member states expressed "grave concern about the situation in Gaza and Israel" and said "all attacks must end immediately."
"The European Union strongly condemns the rocket attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip, which Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza must cease immediately. There can be no justification for the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians," they said.
