European Parliament Condemns Hamas for Terror, Use of Human Shields
(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - The European Parliament on Thursday overwhelmingly passed a resolution that denounces Hamas as a terrorist group that uses human shields, calls for Israel's destruction and "seems to aim at escalating tensions" at the Gaza-Israel border. The motion also calls for the release of Israeli citizens and the bodies of fallen soldiers held by Hamas in Gaza. The carefully balanced text also backs calls for probes into Israel's use of live ammunition to fend off protesters at the border.
