China Daily  

People hug as they stand on the rubble of damaged buildings in the aftermath of Israeli strikes in Joun village, Lebanon, on Wednesday. AZIZ TAHER / REUTERS The United Nations Security Council has led calls condemning recent incidents that injured peacekeepers in Lebanon and humanitarian workers in Gaza as Israeli attacks continue unabated. The Security Council called on all parties to abide by international humanitarian law, while medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres urged the protection of medical facilities, health workers and civilians. Meanwhile, European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has proposed that the bloc suspend political dialogue with Israel, citing possible human rights violations in Gaza, according to four diplomats and a letter seen by Reuters. In the letter sent on Wednesday to EU foreign ministers ahead of their meeting early next week, Borrell cited "serious concerns about possible breaches of international humanitarian law in Gaza" and said that "thus far, these concerns have not been sufficiently addressed by Israel".
