European Union officials have reiterated their political and financial support for the Palestinian Authority and renewed calls for a two-state solution, as the wider Middle East conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran continues to dominate global attention.
Speaking at a meeting of the “Global Alliance for the Two-State Solution,” Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prévot said the international community must maintain its diplomatic focus despite escalating regional crises. “We meet in the middle of a storm. But we cannot abandon the compass,” he said, stressing that the Israeli-Palestinian issue remains central to broader regional stability.
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also underscored the bloc’s position, stating that Europe “can and must do more” to ensure respect for human rights, accountability, and renewed momentum toward a two-state framework. She reiterated that the Palestinian Authority is expected to play a key role in any post-conflict arrangement in Gaza, despite ongoing political reservations among some member states.
The European Union remains the largest financial donor to the Palestinians and continues to support institutional governance structures in the occupied territories. Officials in Brussels argue that sustaining aid and political engagement is essential to preventing further deterioration of conditions on the ground.
The renewed diplomatic push comes as the ongoing US-Israeli military confrontation with Iran has shifted international focus away from Gaza, where the humanitarian and political situation remains unresolved.
European diplomats emphasized that neglecting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict risks further destabilizing the broader Middle East, warning that regional crises are increasingly interconnected.
