What we have learned over the last 30 years, and what we are learning now with the tragedy in Gaza, is that the solution must be imposed from the outside. said Borrell, in a speech at the diplomatic conference in Lisbon.
“Peace will be achieved in a lasting way only if the international community commits itself intensely to its realization and imposes a solution”he pointed out, referring to an effort in which “The United States, the Europeans and the Arabs.”
In the aftermath of the killing of a senior leader of the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas near Beirut, which reawakened fears of an extension of the conflict, Borrell, who intended to travel to Lebanon on Thursday, also said that this trip risked must be cancelled.
“What happened yesterday with the death of the Hamas leaders is a further factor that can cause an escalation of the conflict”he said in a press conference after his speech at the Portuguese diplomatic seminar.
Despite not having claimed responsibility for the elimination, on Tuesday evening, in Beirut, of the number two Hamas politician, Saleh al-Arouri, Israel is considered by many responsible for the fatal attack on the founder of the military branch of the movement, after having sworn to “destroy” Hamas reacting to the unprecedented October 7 attack on Israeli soil.
The October 7 Hamas attack left around 1,140 dead in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli data. The movement’s commandos had taken around 250 people hostage, more than 100 of whom were released at the end of November during a week-long truce.
The nearly three-month war has cost the lives of 22,313 people in Gaza, mostly women, teenagers and children, according to a new report Wednesday from Hamas, classified as a terrorist organization by the United States, Israel and the European Union. .
