Israel, Palestinians must step back from brink: EU

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Israel and Palestinian militants must "step back from the brink" before a crisis over the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier spirals out of control, the European Union said on Wednesday.

Both sides must step back from the brink before this becomes a crisis that neither can control.

"All sides need to consider their responsibilities extremely carefully," EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said in a statement.

She reiterated a call for those holding Corporal Gilad Shalit to free him and urged Israel to "act with prudence" to allow diplomatic efforts to secure his release to work.

"Both sides must step back from the brink before this becomes a crisis that neither can control," she said.

Israel sent tanks backed by helicopter gunships and artillery into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday to step up pressure on Palestinian militants to release Shalit, who was captured in a cross-border raid by Palestinian gunmen three days earlier.
