European Commissioner discussed EU-Israel relationship, Gaza with Israeli minister
The EU and like-minded partners launched an early recovery plan for Gaza focused on essential services, infrastructure and governance, Suica said.
On Sunday, European Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica discussed the European Union's relationship with Israel, regional stability, and Gaza recovery efforts with Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
The European Union remains internally divided on Israel, with 27 member states holding differing views; some maintain close ties while others are highly critical of Israel's conduct in Gaza.
Suica emphasized the "urgent need to advance early recovery," noting "our continued cooperation is key to delivering early recovery projects on the ground" for Gaza's essential services.
The officials also addressed shared interests in Middle East security, which Suica stated "includes a reformed and functioning Palestinian Authority" to ensure regional stability.
Diplomatic friction persists, as Saar previously severed "all contact" with European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas in June over her alleged remarks comparing Israel to apartheid-era South Africa.
Commissioner Šuica and Minister Sa'ar discussed EU-Israel relations, regional stability and the urgent need for the early reconstruction of the Gaza Strip.
