‘Tomorrow is already too late’: EU top diplomat calls for pressure to reach Gaza ceasefire

The European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called for more pressure on Israel and Hamas for a Gaza ceasefire on Tuesday.

Despite several rounds of talks spanning over months, a deal remains out of reach.

“The only thing I can say is that all actors involved have to continue putting pressure on both parties to reach this agreement,” he said in Dubai during a visit to the United Arab Emirates.

“But it’s coming late. Every day that the agreement is not being reached, it means more hostages will be retained and more people will be killed. So it’s not a matter of waiting for tomorrow. Tomorrow is already too late.”
