The European Union (EU) on Friday offered to take charge of Gaza's border crossings and work to prevent illegal arms flows, according to The Associated Press (AP).
The EU is prepared "to play a strong role" in managing the crossings while assuring that Israel's security is guaranteed, said the 28-nation bloc's foreign policy chief, Catherine Ashton.
The EU offered to reactivate and extend its monitoring of the Rafiah crossing with Egypt and other border posts, provided there will be a UN Security Council mandate for the mission and a sustainable cease-fire in place, according to AP.
In addition, the EU says Israel must lift its blockade to allow "a fundamental improvement in the living conditions for the Palestinian people in Gaza."
The EU foreign ministers said the bloc is also prepared to prevent arms smuggling and launch a training program for Palestinian Authority police and customs officers to be deployed in Gaza.
"The situation in the Gaza Strip has been unsustainable for many years and a return to the status quo prior to the latest conflict is not an option," they said, according to AP.
The EU has been critical of Israel over its operation in Gaza and has several times called for an immediate ceasefire.

No thanks.
The muzzie terrorists don’t need anymore help importing and storing rockets and weapons.
The UN is already taking care of that for them.
This is the American English translation of the headline.
Yep. Let’s have Europeans pen the Jews inside a small ghetto again, and make sure they don’t defend themselves.
That’s just what Zionism aimed to achieve: Jews behind European walls... (sarc/off)
What a joke. No, what an insult. As if Israel would be that stupid gullible.
Who would trust those EU losers?!?!
Yeah, and let’s have Michael Moore guard the pizza!
Good one Civ...
