Israel should ease its Gaza blockade further and allow Palestinians to resume exports from the territory, the European Union's foreign policy chief said on Sunday (18 July) during a visit to the Hamas-controlled enclave.

Turkey's minister of European affairs and chief EU negotiator, Egemen Bagi?, made a bold appeal for the embargo on Gaza to be lifted on a visit to Brussels yesterday (9 June). At the same time in Washington, US President Barack Obama described the current situation there as "unsustainable" and called for "a new approach".
