Ireland’s foreign minister said Thursday that Israel is targeting Palestinian people and not just Hamas with its military campaign in Gaza, and he wants the European Union to review its ties with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.

“This is a war against Palestinians not just against Hamas. The level of civilian casualties and dead is unconscionable,” Micheál Martin said at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels. “It’s a war on the population. No point in trying to fudge this.”
