EU civil servants call for arms embargo

The EU Observer is reporting that there is growing anger amongst civil servants within the EU in response to the bloc's policy on Gaza.

It said more than 1,500 bureaucrats had signed a letter calling on the organisation to ensure international law was upheld and that weapons supplies to Israel were halted.

"As EU staff and EU citizens, we expect the EU leadership to lead by example and abide by the Treaty on the European Union," the letter read.
