EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called today for Gaza hostages to be immediately freed, but asked Israel “not to be consumed by rage” in its battle with Hamas fighters in the occupied Palestinian territory, AFP reports.

“I ask for their immediate and unconditional release,” Borrell said on a visit to a kibbutz targeted by Hamas in the October 7 attacks. “I understand your fears and pain… I understand your rage. But let me ask you not to be consumed by rage. “
