Tensions in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel are worrying. We call on the parties to take necessary measures to reduce tensions.

Axar.az reports that this was said by the High Representative of the European Union (EU) for foreign affairs and security policy, Jozep Borrell.

"From the current year to date, the number of people killed in the clashes in the West Bank together with the events in Jenin has reached 30. The EU understands Israel's legitimate security concerns regarding recent terrorist attacks. But the use of deadly force should only be used as a last resort," Borrell said.

The EU official also condemned the armed attack on the synagogue in Jerusalem.

It should be noted that yesterday there was an armed attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem. As a result, 8 people died and 10 people were injured.

In addition, on January 26, 9 Palestinians lost their lives in clashes with Israeli soldiers in the city of Jenin on the West Bank of the Jordan River.
