Kaja Kallas: EU Can Cooperate if Peace Council Focuses on Gaza

The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, stated that if the Peace Council proposed by Donald Trump limits its mission to Gaza, European countries can cooperate with this plan. Kallas emphasized the EU's desire to work for peace in the Middle East, but with respect for the UN Security Council resolution. Specifically, Kallas added that cooperation is possible as long as the Peace Council focuses exclusively on Gaza, as stipulated. The statement was made before the start of the emergency EU summit, where Trump's initiative is one of the main topics of discussion. Kallas stressed the importance of adhering to international rules and agreements, as well as cooperating with international organizations such as the UN, to achieve a sustainable peace in the Middle East. The EU's position is that any peace effort must be consistent with international law and take into account the needs and concerns of all parties involved. The statement by Kallas shows a willingness for dialogue and cooperation, but at the same time highlights the need for clear boundaries and respect for international rules.
