Israel rejects critical EU report ahead of ministers' meet

Israel has rejected a

European Union report saying it may be breaching human rights

obligations in Gaza and the West Bank as a “moral and

methodological failure,” according to a document seen by Reuters

on Sunday.



The note, sent to EU officials ahead of a foreign ministers'

meeting on Monday, said the report by the bloc’s diplomatic

service failed to consider Israel’s challenges and was based on

inaccurate information.



"The Foreign Ministry of the State of Israel rejects the

document ... and finds it to be a complete moral and

methodological failure," the note said, adding that it should be

dismissed entirely.



European nations have been increasingly critical of the

massive civilian toll of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's

military campaign against Palestinian militant group Hamas since

its October 7, 2023 attack on Israeli communities.
