    “Gaza essential part of future Palestinian state”. EU finally responds to Trump

    Commission takes 36 hours to respond to US president's provocations and idea of making Palestinian territory a vacation resort. Response entrusted to a spokesman, silence from Ursula von der Leyen

    Brussels – “Gaza is an essential part of a future Palestinian state.” Finally, the European Commission speaks out publicly. It is Anouar El Anouni, spokesman for the EU’s High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy, who clarifies the line and responds to the provocations of U.S. President Donald Trump, determined to trample decades of arduous processes of peace in the Middle East that the EU wants. “The EU fully supports the two-state solution, which we believe is the only way to achieve a sustainable peace for both Israelis and Palestinians,” adds Kaja Kallas’s spokesman.

    The response, however, is belated. It took 36 hours for the European Commission to comment on Trump’s remarks. To the words echoed in Europe on the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 5, the first official and public response was given by a spokesman shortly after noon the next day, Thursday, Feb. 6. This “calmness” offers proof of the inability to act on the big issues and betrays once again the geopolitical aspirations that have been dead and buried for years anyway.

    In the frenzied activism of the EU brass, always ready to comment on anything and always eager to appear, be seen and be present in the media and even more so on social media, one notices the absence of comments from the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, as well as High Representative Kaja Kallas, who are also incapable of commenting on Trump’s stated willingness to displace the population of Gaza.

    The issue is a big one. There is no shortage of discontent in the European Parliament among the ranks of groups allied with the EPP. Von der Leyen and her Commission show a “lack of leadership.” So report parliamentary sources. Before the “Gaza issue”, the EU executive was blamed for the failure to react to the raging Elon Musk and his meddling in EU affairs via its social X. Now it is adding a belated reaction on the Arab-Israeli issue, with the Commission, in the words of spokesman El Anouni, “taking note of President Trump’s statements”. Not exactly the best impression by those who would like a weighty role in the world and a European foreign policy.
