A spokesperson for the European Union's foreign policy remarked on Wednesday that Gaza must be a key component of any future Palestinian state, reaffirming the EU's dedication to a two-state solution for both Israelis and Palestinians.

These remarks were made in response to a contentious proposal from US President Donald Trump, which suggested that the United States should take control of Gaza and relocate its Palestinian residents.

The EU spokesperson underscored that the two-state solution is the only feasible route to achieving lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians, reiterating the EU's stance despite widespread international criticism of Trump’s plan.

"Gaza is a crucial part of a future Palestinian state," the spokesperson asserted, emphasizing the EU's ongoing support for Palestinian statehood within the framework of a negotiated peace agreement.
