The EU’s function in supporting peace efforts for Gaza

MEPs will discuss the EU’s role in supporting peace efforts for Gaza and the two-state solution with the Council and the Commission.

This comes after the US’s proposed peace plan, which EU leaders, including European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, welcomed last week.

The roadmap presented by US President Donald Trump includes a plan to release Israeli hostages and demilitarise Hamas.

In a resolution last month, MEPs called on EU countries to recognise the State of Palestine as they sounded the alarm over the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza and stressed that Israel’s right to defend itself cannot justify indiscriminate military action.
