European Union president said Saturday an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza was "defensive, not offensive" action: "At the moment, from the perspective of the last days, we understand this step as a defensive, not offensive, action," EU presidency spokesman Jiri Potuznik said.
Dozens of rockets have been fired at Israel's southern communities over the past two weeks, killing four Israelis.
U.S. President George W. Bush on Friday branded the Hamas rocket attacks on Israel an act of terror and outlined his own condition for a cease-fire in Gaza, saying no peace deal would be acceptable without monitoring to halt the flow of smuggled weapons to terrorist groups.
