Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the threats and measures taken by the European Union against Israel following the siege on Gaza Strip and ongoing fighting. Abbas said 'We welcome EU countries that opposed policies of siege, displacement, starvation and occupation.' He called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and allowing UN aid deliveries. Yesterday, the European Union announced it would review its relationship agreement with Israel amid continued fighting and limited aid entering Gaza, which it described as 'a drop in the ocean.'
