Hamas is listed by the European Union as a terrorist organisation, unanimously agreed by all Member States. I again unreservedly condemn the recent attack by Hamas on Israel. The deliberate and systematic targeting of civilians can never be justified. The taking of hostages, including young children and the elderly is unconscionable and I call for them to be released immediately.
