EU's Kallas warns two-state solution ambitions 'increasingly at odds' with realities in Gaza, West Bank
The bloc's foreign policy chief said progress in Gaza remains 'far too limited' as settlement expansion undermines a two-state solution.
European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas has warned that the bloc's ambitions for a two-state solution are increasingly at odds with realities on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank.
Kallas said progress toward improving conditions in Gaza remains "far too limited," pointing to the humanitarian and political challenges that persist there.
She also said continued settlement expansion in the West Bank is undermining the viability of a future two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.
Her remarks add to a chorus of international concern over the diminishing prospects for a negotiated resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The comments come as the EU continues to grapple with how to influence developments in the region alongside other international actors.
