Berlin: The European Union (EU) has reaffirmed its commitment to a two-state solution, stating that Gaza is an integral part of a future Palestinian state. This statement comes after former US President Donald Trump proposed that the United States take control of Gaza following the resettlement of Palestinians elsewhere, a suggestion that has drawn global condemnation.
EU Reaffirms Support for Two-State Solution
An EU foreign policy spokesperson responded to Trump’s remarks on Wednesday, stating:
“We took note of President Trump’s comments. The EU remains firmly committed to a two-state solution, which we believe is the only path to long-term peace for both Israelis and Palestinians.”
He further emphasized that Gaza must be included in any future Palestinian state, dismissing Trump’s suggestion as contrary to international consensus.
Trump’s Controversial Proposal Sparks Global Criticism
Donald Trump’s proposal suggests that the US should take over Gaza while relocating Palestinians elsewhere. This idea has been met with widespread criticism from international leaders, human rights organizations, and Palestinian officials.
The EU’s firm stance signals opposition to unilateral moves that could undermine Palestinian sovereignty and escalate regional tensions.
Conclusion
With ongoing conflict in Gaza, the EU remains steadfast in its vision of a negotiated two-state solution that includes Gaza as a fundamental part of a future Palestinian state. Meanwhile, Trump’s proposal has intensified global debates over the future of the region.
