(WAFA) - Israeli Peace Bloc Gosh Shalom called upon the European Union and its member states, possibly in conjunction with other countries, to intervene immediately and effectively in the looming Israel-Palestinian crisis.
It called for appointing a representative of ministerial rank to Israel/Palestine to monitor unfolding events and advise the European Union on immediate steps the situation may demand.
It also called upon the EU to stop the severe sanctions imposed by Europe on the Palestinian Authority as a penalty for exercising their democratic right and electing a government of their choice.
Gush Shalom urged the EU to engage both the Government of Israel and the elected Palestinian President and government in a serious dialogue, with the view of putting an end to the present crisis and paving the way for meaningful peace negotiations.
The EU was also asked by the Bloc to extend its Border Assistance Mission, already successfully operating at the Rafah Border Crossing, to all crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip, in order to ensure the regular flow of foodstuffs, medicines and other goods in both directions, irrespective of political and military developments.
It asked the EU to offer both sides to station a permanent European peace-keeping force between the Gaza Strip and Israel, urging it to consider the convening of an international conference for ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
