In the letter, Amirabdollahian highlighted the recent positions of the European side, emphasizing the urgent need to establish an enduring ceasefire, halt the massacre of civilians in Gaza, and adhere to international humanitarian law.   He also touched upon the urgent delivery of aid to the displaced people of Gaza, and appreciated the EU official’s stance on declaring settlement construction as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law while condemning the the settlers' violence in the West Bank.   Within this correspondence, Amirabdollahian requested the EU official to take more effective steps to permanently cease the Zionist regime's attacks on the Gaza Strip, completely lift the blockade, and end the occupation.
