"Israel's strike in Gaza exceeds everything necessary to fight Hamas" as the death toll continue there, said Kaja Kallas, the EU's top diplomat.

Karas also said the EU does not support the new aid distribution model supported by the United States and Israel, which bypasses the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations.

"We do not support the privatization of humanitarian aid distribution. Humanitarian aid cannot be weaponized," she said.

Hamas - The Ministry of Health said that since the war resumed in March, Israel's air strikes and other military operations have killed 3,924 people. Israel said it is taking action to destroy Hamas and take back the hostages held by the group.

The recent bombing in Israel killed a large number of civilians. Last Friday, an air strike by Khan Younis killed nine of the 10 children of Palestinian doctors. At least 35 people were killed in a school building that sheltered living families in northern Gaza until Monday.

Karas's remarks come after the intervention of new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who declared that he "no longer understands" Israel's goal in the surrounded enclave.

"The way civilians are affected … the fight against Hamas terrorism is no longer justified," he said.

The EU is one of the largest donors of humanitarian aid to Gaza, but Karas said most of them are currently unable to access Palestinians who need it. Israel created a complete lockdown on Gaza in March and only began to allow aid after 11 weeks.

"Most of the aid to Gaza is provided by the EU, but because Israel prevents the people, it has not reached the people," Karas said.

“The suffering of the people is untenable.”

Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described the recent Israeli attack on Gaza civilian infrastructure as "annoying" and "disproportionate".

It also follows the strongest criticism of Britain, France and Canada to date, who demand that Israel end its military offensive in Gaza. Britain later said it was suspending trade talks with Israel.

The EU has formally reviewed its trade agreement with Israel, and Karas said she will introduce the "choice" at the EU Foreign Ministers' Meeting in Brussels on June 23.

The UN agency warns that Gaza's 2.1 million people face catastrophic hunger levels after nearly three months of eased Israel's lockdown last week.

Israel and the United States are supporting a new aid distribution system run by a controversial new organization, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

GHF's ​​aid distribution system uses U.S. security contractors and bypasses the United Nations, which the company rejects it is unethical and unfeasible. The U.S. and Israeli governments said it prevented aid from being stolen by Hamas, which armed groups denied.

Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Tuesday that Israeli forces continued to fight Hamas elsewhere, relocating the entire population of Gaza to a "sterile zone" in the southern part of the territory. He also vowed to promote what he described as "voluntary immigration" to the majority of Gaza's population to other countries, a plan for many to be forced to deport.

Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza on October 7, 2023 in response to Hamas' cross-border attacks, in which about 1,200 people were killed and another 251 were taken hostage.

At least 54,084 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to data from the regional health ministry.
