Peace Can't Wait: EU Diplomat Calls for Bold Action
Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, dropped a truth bomb at UN meetings this week: Waiting for calm to pursue Middle East peace is 'utopian.' 🔥 'Start building the two-state solution NOW,' he told global leaders, comparing delayed diplomacy to 'trying to fix a leaky boat after it’s already sunk.' 🚢💨
Casualty Count Sparks Outcry
Borrell slammed recent attacks in Lebanon – linked to escalating Israel-Gaza tensions – that killed 700+ people. 🚨 'Civilian deaths can’t be justified as self-defense,' he declared, urging accountability. Meanwhile, the EU pledged $411M to UNRWA to aid Palestinian refugees, calling it 'lifeline money for 5.9 million people.' 💔
The Bigger Picture
While bombs still fall, Borrell’s message cuts through: Peace-building and ceasefire efforts MUST happen simultaneously. 🌱 His push comes as global frustration grows over repeated cycles of violence – but will world leaders listen? 🤝💬
