"Prolonging military conflict in Gaza will only spiral into further violence and the EU must fully assert its influence to bring it to an end. I condemn the rocket attacks into Israeli territory but also the disproportionate use of military force by the Israeli authorities. The spirals of violence and retaliation that periodically emerge in the region lead only to the loss of innocent lives.
The best, long-term path to peace and security for both sides is a comprehensive agreement for a two-state solution that allows for a viable Palestinian state. Israelʼs continued settlement expansion in the occupied territories only serves to undermine all the fragile work done to reach that outcome. Through its close trade and cooperation ties with Israel, the EU can and must exert more pressure on Israel towards a sustainable, long-term solution.
The alternative is to keep paying for essential infrastructure and humanitarian aid in the wake of every outburst of violence, while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to fester and claim innocent lives against an increasingly dangerous and unpredictable Middle-Eastern backdrop."@en1
