Borrell: The International Community Must Impose a Solution to the Conflict in Gaza

Josep Borrell, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said on Wednesday that the international community must impose a solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic resistance movement (Hamas) because the warring parties are unable to reach an agreement. Speaking at an event in Lisbon, he stated, "I believe we have learned over the past thirty years that the solution must come from outside because the two parties will never be able to reach an agreement," also warning that "if this tragedy does not end soon, it could ignite the situation in the entire Middle East."
