EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas said the European Union will continue supporting the Gaza peace plan as the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank rapidly deteriorates.
Following an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Ireland, Kallas said the Union would continue working with its partners toward a two-state solution.
The Palestinian issue remains on the diplomatic agenda
The meeting addressed the humanitarian situation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, as well as the increasing violence by Israelis who have seized Palestinian land. Kallas said those responsible for these actions often go unpunished.
Reiterating the EU's support for the Gaza plan, Kallas said the Palestinian issue would be among the main topics of the European Union's diplomatic contacts during the upcoming meetings of the United Nations General Assembly.
War and withdrawal provisions in the Gaza plan
US President Donald Trump announced a 20-point plan for Gaza on September 29, 2025. The plan calls for an end to the war, the reciprocal exchange of Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners, the delivery of humanitarian aid and Israel's phased withdrawal.
Under the plan, Israel's withdrawal would be linked to the disarmament of Palestinian groups. The plan also includes the deployment of a temporary international force in the area to help establish stability.
Destruction continues in Gaza
With US support, Israel has continued its attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 8, 2023. More than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 174,000 injured in the war.
Children and women make up the majority of those killed and injured. Approximately 90 percent of the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip has been destroyed.
