In this sense, the European chief executive argues that the actions of the Islamic movement “They caused enormous suffering not only to the people of Israel, but also to innocent Palestinians.”. Thus, he wanted to say words in honor of Israeli and Palestinian victims, although he did not specifically refer to Israel’s military campaign in the Gaza Strip.

On this tragic anniversary, I want to honor the memory of those who died. The European Union stands with all the innocent people whose lives have been destroyed since that fateful day.

For von der Leyen, Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel “caused a spiral of violence that has brought the entire region into a state of extreme tension and instability.”that’s why he called “responsibility and moderation” all parties who must “We commit ourselves to reducing current tensions.”

As the EU did for months after it responded to requests for “humanitarian pauses,” German doctor and politician confirmed the demand for immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and the release of hostages and the end of the conflict.

Likewise, he mentioned a two-state solution as the “only viable path” to end the crisis in the Middle East and said that anti-Semitism is on the rise Therefore, it has pledged to allocate more funds to combat this phenomenon.

Michelle calls for the protection of international law

In another social media post, the President of the European Council: Charles Michel, condemned “brutal attack” carried out by Hamas a year ago against innocent Israeli civilians and noted that this added fuel to the spiral of violence in the region.

A ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of all hostages are of paramount importance. As do efforts to protect lives on the ground and reduce tensions.

In this sense, the former Prime Minister of Belgium in his message emphasizes that the protection of international law and International humanitarian law around the world as part of the EU’s values, mentions something that von der Leyen does not do in his statement.
