EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen von der Leyen described Russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine as a "terrorist act". When asked about Israel's attack on a hospital in Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians, she responded: "I require confirmation, and I am unable to provide comments at this point." In her recent statements, she refrained from labeling the attack as an act of terrorism and did not assert that it violated international law.
