The President of the European Council highlighted this Friday the “important decision” taken on Thursday by European leaders to organize a conference to bring peace to the Middle East after another Israeli invasion of Palestinian territory.
“We have decided to ask for humanitarian corridors and humanitarian pauses,” Charles Michel said before entering a European Council meeting in Brussels.
The President of the Council highlighted the “important decision” announced early this Friday morning to organize a conference under the auspices of the European Union (EU) to find solutions for peace in the Middle East under the auspices of two states supported by the 27. The date of the conference has not yet been set, but Spanish sources noted on Thursday that it will be organized within six months.
These were the two main conclusions reached by leaders on the first day of the European Council.
This Friday, the Israeli army carried out another ground operation in the Gaza Strip, supported by fighter jets and drones (unmanned aircraft).
The operation in the center of the Gaza Strip was aimed at searching for elements of the Islamist Hamas movement.
In parallel with this operation, Israel bombed targets not only in this area, but throughout Palestine.
Among the targets hit, according to the Israeli army, were command centers and missile launch sites.
On Wednesday evening, the Israeli army carried out another tank attack in the Gaza Strip. Since October 7, the day of the Hamas attacks, Israel has been bombing Palestinian territory in preparation for a possible invasion of the territory, repeatedly promised by political and military leaders.
Israel insists the bombings only targeted Hamas positions, but several humanitarian organizations and citizen testimony have disputed this, accusing Tel Aviv of indiscriminate bombing.
The conflict was sparked by attacks on the Islamist movement inside Israel that killed more than 1,400 people, most of them civilians.
More than 220 people will remain hostage to Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and the Islamist movement has said more than 7,000 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory, most of them civilians, including 2,900 children.
