According to Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Palestinian armed groups have launched some 250 rockets towards Israel, while the Israeli military has carried out airstrikes into Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is seen as occupied territory under international law, thus making all Jewish settlements there illegal.<\/p>\n<p>Like Turkey and much of the international community, the EU does not recognize Israel&#8217;s sovereignty over the territories it has occupied since 1967.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2001, Brussels has repeatedly called on Israel to end all settlement activity and to dismantle those that already exist.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"postmeta\">\n<div class=\"article-share\">\n<div class=\"fb-save
