«The time for truce is now, exactly one year after the terrorist attacks. Tomorrow it might be too late. October 7 only strengthens the European Union’s efforts on the need to reach a regional ceasefire.” This was stated by the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy, Josep Borrell. «Our thoughts and hearts have been with the families of those 1,200 innocent people who were brutally murdered, as well as with the unspeakable suffering of the hostages and their families. Hamas must release all hostages immediately and unconditionally,” adds Borrell. «One year after the terrible attack on Israel, the situation is only getting worse. The region’s population is more insecure than ever and finds itself in an endless cycle of violence, hatred and revenge. The entire Middle East is on the brink of a full-blown conflagration that the international community seems incapable of controlling. No military solution will bring a future to the people of Israel and Palestine. Only a political solution will bring peace, security and prosperity”, he concludes.
