European Union foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell on Tuesday urged the international community to stop 'radical members of the Israel i government' from thwarting Palestinian statehood and prevent Israel from turning the illegally occupied West Bank into 'a new Gaza .' Speaking to attendees of an Arab League conference in Cairo, Borrell lamented that a Gaza cease-fire agreement 'has still not been signed and does not seem likely to be signed in the near future.
' 'Against this backdrop, it is clear that the prospect of a two-state solution—which we have been ritually repeating—is receding ever further while the international community deplores, feels, and condemns, but finds it hard to act,' Borrell added. 'What can we do?' he asked, continuing: We need to raise our voice at the next and prevent a sort of 'Gaza fatigue,' which will embolden the extremists and postpone once again the idea of a political settlement.
