BRUSSELS, July 23 (Xinhua) — Senior European Union officials on Tuesday strongly condemned the killing of civilians in lines for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, warning Israel to uphold its commitments on aid access and comply with international law.

“The killing of civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza is unforgivable,” EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas wrote on social media X. She said she had spoken to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar to remind him of how the EU understands aid and to demand that the Israeli military stop killing people at distribution points.

“We do not rule out any options if Israel does not fulfill its obligations,” she added.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shared those concerns, calling the situation in Gaza “unbearable” and stressing that civilians must never be targeted.

“The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and rapid flow of humanitarian aid, with full respect for international and humanitarian law,” she wrote on the social network X. “The civilian population of Gaza has suffered too much and for too long. This must stop now. Israel must live up to its obligations,” added U. von der Leyen.

The comments come amid a series of deadly incidents in the Gaza Strip. Health authorities in the enclave said Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for aid distribution on Sunday, killing at least 85 people. Six more were killed in a separate incident in Rafah. –0–

BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) — China National Offshore Oil Corp. (CNOOC) said Tuesday it has started production at an oil field in the Bohai Sea, marking a major step in the development of the country's offshore energy resources.

The Kenli 10-2 oil field is located in the southern waters of the Bohai Sea. It is the largest lithological field discovered to date in China's offshore areas, with proven geological reserves of over 100 million tons.

The first stage of the Kenli 10-2 development project plans to commission 79 production wells with an expected maximum daily flow rate of 3,000 tons of oil and gas equivalent. The second stage of field development will also be implemented here.

To overcome the technical difficulties caused by the complex composition of heavy oil, CNOOC has established a sophisticated reservoir development technology system specifically designed for heavy oil production.

“The successful launch of the first phase of the Kenli 10-2 oil field development project marks a new stage in the development of China’s complex offshore heavy oil reservoir,” said Yan Hongtao, deputy general manager of CNOOC, adding that “this is a key step toward achieving our annual production target of 40 million tons in the Bohai Sea within a year.” -0-

JERUSALEM, July 23 (Xinhua) — Israel must achieve a complete victory in the war in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday.

According to a statement released by the minister's office, I. Katz assessed the situation on several fronts with IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir and other senior commanders.

"We have come as close as possible to achieving the goals of the war. We have two open theaters of military operations left in Gaza and Yemen, and we must strive for complete victory in both," the head of the Ministry of Defense noted.

I. Katz emphasized the importance of achieving the set military goals, primarily the return of all Israeli hostages and the capitulation of the Hamas movement.

He added that there was a possibility of a renewed war against Iran and pointed to the need to preserve the “achievements” of the June operation against the Islamic Republic and develop an effective plan to force Iran to abandon its nuclear and missile programs.

I. Katz also said that the IDF's presence at checkpoints and in security zones in various areas, including Syria and Lebanon, is necessary to protect Israeli communities. The IDF will remain in refugee camps in the West Bank and will operate in other camps if necessary, he added.

The minister's comments came as talks on a Gaza ceasefire continue in Doha and Israeli media reports earlier in the day indicated significant progress.–0–
