The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, Josep Borrell, affirmed this Tuesday at Forum Europa in Brussels that Israel will not have security "even if Hamas is completely eradicated" and urged the implementation of the two-state solution.
During a meeting organised by the New Economy Forum in the EU capital, Josep Borrell responded to a question on what to do to stop civilian deaths in the Gaza Strip and asserted that the solution lies in a ceasefire, the release of hostages and starting to work on a political solution.
The High Representative stressed that the release of the hostages captured by Hamas in the terrorist attacks of 7 October last year "is something that has to happen unconditionally".
