We ask all parties to exercise maximum restraint." The president of the European Council, Charles Michel, wrote this in X after the summit concluded. "The EU is committed to working with partners to put an end to the Gaza crisis, including through: an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of hostages, the guarantee of unlimited access to humanitarian aid", he adds.
