Iranians protest to Czech diplomat over EU “indifference” to Gaza

The charge d’affaires of the Czech Republic, whose country holds the presidency of the European Union, was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday to hear a protest against what Tehran described as the EU’s indifference towards human rights violations by Israel in the Gaza Strip. Iranian TV said officials had also told diplomat Jan Kouřil that the EU’s silence encouraged Israel to commit further crimes of that kind.
