EU Minus Hungary Calls for Israeli-Palestinian Ceasefire | Business Wire Human Rights News
The foreign ministers of EU countries called for a ceasefire to end the violence in Palestine, but failed to reach an agreement, which may allow the EU to play a role in peacemaking.
Hungary, Israel’s closest ally in the group, refused to join 26 other foreign ministers in calling for a ceasefire during a video call convened by Josep Borrell, the head of EU foreign policy.
After presiding over the meeting, Borrell said that the ministers generally reached a consensus that “the priority is to immediately stop all violence and implement a ceasefire.”
