The European Commission has urged Israel to rein in the incendiary rhetoric of Minister Ben-Gvir, following statements it considers unacceptable. The Israeli minister called for the killing of "30 to 40" Palestinians per night, which has raised international concern.

In addition, Ben-Gvir expressed support for the expansion of settlements in Gaza, an action condemned by the EU and one that exacerbates tensions in the region.

The Commission's position reflects a growing concern over the escalation of violence and the implications of Israel's policies for peace in the Middle East.

The EU reiterated the need for a discourse that promotes peace rather than incites violence, emphasizing the importance of dialogue between the parties involved.
