‘Gaza must never be again a terror haven,’ EU foreign policy chief says

Speaking at a press conference after the Association Council meeting between Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and EU foreign ministers, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas calls for a move to the second phase of the hostage release deal with Hamas.

She also pushes against US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Gazans, saying “Palestinians must be able to live in Gaza.

“At the same time, Gaza must never be again a terror haven,” she says, later adding that “we do not want to see Hamas there.”

Kallas says the EU is concerned about events in the West Bank, and reiterates the call for a two-state solution.

Asked about the International Criminal Court’s warrants from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Kallas says that the EU supports the court, but notes that “the enforcement of the International Criminal Court warrants is up to the Member States to decide.”
