On a visit to Israel, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas addressed the situation in Gaza, where Israel has restarted intense air strikes and ground assaults.
Kallas said the European Union welcomed the Arab plan for the reconstruction of Gaza but said more needs to be done on issues such as cost-sharing and the future of governance.
“We see no role for Hamas in the future governance of Gaza,” the diplomat said. “We definitely need to discuss how the governance of Gaza is foreseen, … and the European Union is ready to participate in those discussions.”
She said the fundamental next steps are restating the ceasefire, ensuring the release of all captives and resuming the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza with the goal of a permanent ceasefire.
“The European Union can help whether through restating our Rafah border-crossing mission or providing more humanitarian assistance.”
