MADRID — European Union foreign policy chief
Josep Borrell said on Friday that the only peaceful solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict included the creation of a Palestinian state, and he suggested this might need to “be imposed from the outside,” without Israel’s agreement.

Borrell, in a speech at the
University of Valladolid in Spain, said that without international intervention, the “spiral of hate will continue generation after generation,” according to multiple Spanish media outlets.
“The actors are too opposed to be able to reach an agreement autonomously,” Borrell said. “If everyone is in favor of this solution, the international community will have to impose it.”
Earlier, US State Department spokesperson
Matthew Miller said there was “no way” to solve Israel’s long-term security challenges in the region and the short-term challenges of rebuilding Gaza without the
establishment of a Palestinian state.
International pressure for advancing the two-state solution has intensified in the wake of the
Israel’s war on Gaza.
