Foreign ministers of the European Union denounced on Monday morning the controversial remarks made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejecting Palestinian statehood.
The more I read, the more I realize that literally everything the Israeli government says is a fabrication.
I looks like the conflict is the goal and peace talks are the problem he is trying to solve
Sure sure, I think we all knew this decades ago. Saying it again is fine, but talk is cheap.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Israeli premier’s remarks were criticised by the bloc’s foreign ministers, who, upon arriving at a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, reiterated that the creation of a Palestinian state must be part of future peace negotiations.
Under discussion is a 10-step peace roadmap tabled by the bloc’s foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell, who aims to rally the EU and other key international actors around a common plan to halt hostilities in the Gaza Strip, establish an independent Palestinian state and bring long-term security in the region.
Jordan’s foreign minister Ayman Safadi also vehemently criticised the Israeli stance, which he described as a “radical racist agenda,” and backed the prospect of targeted sanctions to put pressure on Israel.
As fighting concentrates in Gaza’s main southern city of Khan Younis, fears of regional spillover are also still alive, as intelligence suggests Iran-backed Houthi rebels seek more weapons to increase their attacks on commercial vessels navigating in the Red Sea.
The 27 foreign ministers are also expected to discuss EU plans to sanction Israeli settlers responsible for violent attacks in the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank, following the US and UK’s lead.
On Friday, the bloc established a new sanctions framework to directly target individuals supporting Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, designated as terrorist organisations by the EU.

Israel is probably fine with one, in the Sinaï or in Jordan. Which will also not happen. This is such a bizarre timeline.
“if you don’t do it we’ll write an even more strongly worded letter”
yeah fuck off EU
