OSLO, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) — European Union (EU) foreign ministers gathered in Copenhagen on Saturday and unanimously called on the United States to reconsider its recent decision to revoke visas for Palestinian officials.
The US State Department said on Friday it was “denying and revoking visas for members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) ahead of the upcoming UN General Assembly.”
The meeting also discussed the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, but participants were deeply divided over whether to impose additional sanctions on Israel.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas told a press conference that while member states generally agreed on the seriousness of the situation, consensus on specific measures had not yet been reached.
Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, who chaired the meeting, said more member states believe Israel is unlikely to change course without greater pressure.
Outside the meeting venue, protesters gathered calling for Denmark and the EU to take stronger action over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. –0–
