No military solution will bring a future to the people of Israel and Palestine. Only a political solution will bring peace, security and prosperity, Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy / Vice-President of the European Commission said in a statement one year after the 7th October terrorist attacks, Paralel.Az reports.

"The launch of missiles from Iran against Israel is escalatory and brings the region closer to war. At the same time, new developments in the West Bank are particularly worrying. The EU has been working closely with its Arab partners on ways to push and implement the Two-State solution.

The EU considers that an immediate ceasefire on all fronts is the only way to get to the liberation of the hostages and de-escalate this extremely dangerous situation for the region that would seriously impact the whole world. The EU has consistently called for this and has been working with partners to achieve it. Essential steps now include launching a political process in Lebanon for the presidential election, the deployment of the Lebanese Army in the South, a more robust mandate for UNIFIL, and organizing an urgent humanitarian conference. The time for the ceasefire is now, precisely one year after the terrorist attacks. Tomorrow might be too late," the statement reads.
