After agreeing last week, Saar met with the leaders of the European Union on Monday, which is in dire need of food and fuel in the coastal enclaves of 2.3 million people, which have faced over 21 months of war.
“We have really reached a common understanding with Israel to improve the situation on the ground, but it is not about paper, but is actually about the implementation of paper,” Kalas said before the meeting of the Foreign Affairs.
“We all do not do enough until it really improves,” he said, before calling for a ceasefire.
Kalas said that ministers would also discuss Iran’s nuclear program, concerns on developments in Georgia and Moldova and new sanctions on Russia. The European Union is preparing its 18th package of sanctions on Russia, which has holdouts within the block, arguing on the key policy of reducing oil prices to cut Moscow’s energy revenue.

A European diplomat said, “The human deal announced last week shows that the review of the Association Agreement and the use of the European Union Leverage have worked.”
Spain’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albaras Beeno said that the details of the deal were still being discussed and the European Union would monitor the results to see if Israel is complying with those people.
“We don’t know whether we will know how it works,” he said. “It is very clear that this agreement is not the end – we have to stop the war.”

Israel responded with an aggressive who has killed over 58,000 PalestiniansAccording to Gaza’s Health Ministry, more than half of them women and children.
The Ministry, which is under the Hamas-Interested Government of Gaza, does not distinguish between citizens and fighters. The United Nations and other international organizations see its figures as the most reliable figures on war casualties.
The European Union has observed some support trucks entering Gaza, but “not enough,” said Hazada Lahbib, Commissioner of European Union for humanitarian air and crisis management.
