European Union foreign ministers did not agree to suspend political dialogue with Israel, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said, following a proposal from EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, Reuters reports.

“We know that there are tragic events in Gaza, huge civilian casualties, but we do not forget who started the current cycle of violence,” Sikorski told reporters in Brussels. “And I can tell you that there was no agreement on the idea of suspending negotiations with Israel.”
