The European Union welcomes the unilateral ceasefire of the Zionist regime with the Gaza Strip.
The European Union welcomes the announced ceasefire bringing to an end the violence in and around Gaza. We commend Egypt, Qatar, United Nations, United States, and others who have played a facilitating role in this.
We are appalled and regret the loss of life over these past 11 days. As the EU has consistently reiterated, the situation in the Gaza Strip has long been unsustainable. Only a political solution will bring sustainable peace and end once for all the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Restoring a political horizon towards a two-state solution now remains of utmost importance. The EU is ready to fully support Israeli and Palestinian authorities in these efforts.
The EU is renewing its engagement with key international partners, including the United States, and other partners in the region, as well as with the revitalized Middle East Quartet, to this end.
“Reviving the political landscape in the face of a two-state solution is now more important than ever,” the statement said. “The European Union stands ready to fully support the Israeli and Palestinian authorities in these actions.”
“The European Union is reviving its engagement with international partners, including the United States and other allies in the region, as well as the Middle East Quartet, to end this [conflict],” Borrell concluded.
During the 11-day clashes between the resistance groups and the Zionist regime, more than 4,000 rockets and rockets were fired at occupied Palestine, and the weakness of the Iron Dome in intercepting and destroying Palestinian resistance rockets caused great financial and human losses in Zionist cities and towns.
The Zionist regime’s security cabinet – after 11 days of rocket fire by the Palestinian resistance – last night agreed to Egypt’s plan to establish a truce from on May 21.
Today, officials in the occupying regime in Jerusalem also claimed that the ceasefire announced in the Gaza Strip did not apply to other areas, including occupied Jerusalem.
