BRUSSELS (AP) — Ireland and the European Union’s top diplomat have urged the bloc to review its relations with Israel as the death toll mounts in Gaza and the West Bank. They have suggested imposing sanctions on some Israeli government ministers accused of fomenting racial hatred. At a meeting of EU foreign ministers on Thursday, Ireland’s foreign minister accused Israel of deliberately targeting civilians as well as Hamas militants. Micheal Martin says: “It’s a war on the population. No point in trying to fudge this.” Israel’s offensive in Gaza has killed over 40,000 people, according to local health officials.
