The European Union has renewed its call for the establishment of a Palestinian state following a recent meeting of the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM).
This call comes amid ongoing conflicts and heightened tensions in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Palestine.
European Council President Charles Michel and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell have been vocal in their support for a two-state solution.
They argue that recognising a Palestinian state is a necessary step towards ensuring peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
"This is a moment in which the neighbouring countries of the Mediterranean have all made their voices heard, calling for a political solution to this conflict, which cannot be other -- and in this as well all agree -- than a process leading to the creation of a State for Palestine. And here the keyword is 'implementation', not to proclaim the need, but to do what is necessary for this to happen. For 30 years, we have been proclaiming that this is the solution without acting decisively to achieve it," Borell said during the meeting.
On the issue of the unending killings and strikes in Palestine, Borell shared that it is rather unfortunate the EU and the world at large are watching the criminalities continue without any action.
"I leave this meeting with a feeling of sadness and bitterness because we have failed to prevent the situation from getting worse every day and more innocents from dying under the weight of a conflict that must be stopped. And it will only be stopped if the international community moves from lamentation to action," he added.
