‘Gaza should be an essential part of a future Palestinian state’: EU spokesperson

European Union foreign policy spokesperson said the Gaza Strip should be an essential part of the future of Palestine, adding that the EU was committed to a two-state solution.

“We took note of President Trump’s comments. The EU remains firmly committed to a two-state solution, which we believe is the only path to long-term peace for both Israelis and Palestinians,” the spokesperson said.

“Gaza is an integral part of a future Palestinian state,” he added.

This comes after US President Donald Trump proposed to "take over" and "own" Gaza.
