The EU expressed its “great concerns regarding the spiralling violence on the ground. Immediate measures of de-escalation were necessary.”
The statement added, “The comments of Mr Smotrich go in the opposite direction and are unacceptable and intolerable.”
“We call on the Israeli government to disavow those comments and to work together with all the parties involved to defuse tensions.”
