Time has come to end 'hostilities in Gaza', says EU's Borrell

The time has come to end the "hostilities in Gaza", European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Saturday. 

Following a tour to the Middle East, Borrell wrote in a blog that EU states must "unite and shoulder our responsibility" to push for an end to the conflict.

"A sustainable peace will not return to Israel, Palestine and the region if we do not make rapid progress on this path," he said, referring to pursuing the two-state solution to solve the conflict.
