In a recent interview with the German business newspaper Handelsblatt, the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, commented on the Gaza remarks made by US President Donald Trump. As the first representative of the EU leadership, Metsola expressed concern that the idea of relocating Palestinians risks escalating the long-standing conflicts in the region, rather than leading to peace and stability.
Metsola emphasized the need for a political solution that would offer the Palestinians a “genuine perspective.” She highlighted that the European Parliament has always believed that a true and sustainable peace can only be achieved through a two-state solution. The Maltese politician also stated that the EU is ready to help in this matter. Notably, Metsola’s comments come at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, with the Gaza remarks by Trump sparking widespread international condemnation.
