Roberta Metsola, President of the European Parliament, confirmed on Wednesday Brussels’ willingness to “mediate” solutions to the conflict between Israel and Palestine and called for the “immediate release” of the hostages.
On the street, in front of the European Parliament, during a ceremony for Members of the European Parliament and members of the Jewish community, Roberta Metsola, alongside Charles Michel and Ursula von der Leyen, paid tribute to the victims, as the attack on civilians is a repeat of an attack on civilians. of the worst moments in global history.
“October 7 is a day that will go down in global shame. The world once again witnessed the murder of Jews for the simple fact that they were Jews. In Israel.”he wailed.
“We are here with the President of the European Council, with the President of the European Commission and with all of you, as one, to express our solidarity, to condemn the terrible acts of terror and murder and to demand the immediate release of the hostages,” he emphasized.
The President of the European Parliament offers the European Union mediation after the attack on Israel, but makes it clear that Brussels does not see Hamas as a discussion partner in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “Europe stands ready to help mediate resolutions. But there is no justification for terrorism. Hamas is a terrorist organization. It does not represent the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people.”
Considering that Hamas “does not offer solutions,” Metsola stated that the group was responsible for the “bloodshed” and that “On October 7, Hamas murdered more than a thousand people, including babies, children, women and innocent men, and continues to hold about a hundred other people hostage.”
“They opened fire on hundreds of young people at a music event and killed indiscriminately, including EU citizens. They kidnapped girls and boys. They picked up elderly Holocaust survivors and dragged them from their homes. They paraded dead people through the streets as if they were trophies,” he said, considering that “This is terror at its worst.”
