European Union's foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, urged Israel to protect civilians in Gaza and allow humanitarian aid access as winter approaches. She expressed deep concern over the worsening humanitarian crisis due to severe flooding and ongoing military actions. Kallas called for Israel to respect international law and facilitate UN and humanitarian organizations' access to Gaza. Despite Israel's denial of blocking aid, Prime Minister Netanyahu defended the aid flow while preventing Hamas from exploiting resources. Tensions between Kallas and Israeli officials have escalated since her controversial remarks comparing Israel to apartheid-era South Africa. The conflict escalated after Hamas's attack on October 7, 2023, resulting in significant casualties.
