Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, has publicly endorsed Donald Trump’s pledge to work towards ending the Gaza conflict, urging all parties to capitalize on this significant opportunity.
“The EU stands ready to contribute,” she stated, emphasizing the necessity of an immediate cessation of hostilities. Von der Leyen called for immediate humanitarian relief for Gaza’s population and the unconditional release of all hostages. She reaffirmed that a two-state solution is the “only viable path to a just and lasting peace,” allowing Israeli and Palestinian people to coexist “side by side, in peace and security, free from violence and terrorism.” This diplomatic move underscores the EU’s commitment to brokering a long-term resolution in the Middle East.
