EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said
Israel's bombardment of Gaza will fuel hatred among Palestinians "for generations," urging the country to wind down its military campaign and find a peaceful path to a two-state solution.
Speaking ahead of an EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting on Monday, Borrell said he would engage Israel's delegation about a
"comprehensive approach" to peace, including both an end to the conflict, as well as longer-term issues regarding Palestinian statehood.
"What we want to do is to build a two-state solution, so let's talk about it. The way you are naming it is important. So, from now on, I will not talk about the peace process, but about the two-state solution process," he said.
"If we are serious about that, we have to study the underlying causes that prevent this solution from being implemented. Certainly, Hamas is one of them - an important one - but there are others."The diplomat lamented the dire conditions in the Palestinian enclave, saying the
"humanitarian situation could not be worse" while noting the rapidly climbing death toll among women and children.
Asked about the Israeli government's current opposition to the creation of a Palestinian state - as was recently
reiterated by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - Borrell said further negotiations were needed, also warning of the consequences should the issue not be resolved.
Comment: That the CIA was complicit in many targetted campaigns to 'get rid of' Trump is basically common knowledge at this point. But getting the receipts is important, even if the high-level instigators may remain untouched. If Trump ever does have the opportunity to 'drain the swamp,' he should start by dissolving the CIA.
