BRUSSELS: Gaza should be an essential part of a future Palestinian state, said a European Union foreign policy spokesperson on Wednesday, adding that the EU was committed to a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.
President Donald Trump has proposed for the United States to take over war-ravaged Gaza after resettling Palestinians elsewhere. The comments have drawn global condemnation.
“We took note of President Trump’s comments. The EU remains firmly committed to a two-state solution, which we believe is the only path to long-term peace for both Israelis and Palestinians,” the EU spokesperson said.
“Gaza is an integral part of a future Palestinian state,” he added.

Israeli court postpones trial of Adnan Ghaith until Jan. 20
- Palestinian Authority’s governor of Jerusalem charged with violating military orders
LONDON: An Israeli court on Sunday postponed the trial of the Palestinian Authority’s governor of Jerusalem until Jan. 20.
Adnan Ghaith, who lives in the Silwan neighborhood of the city, is charged with violating Israeli military orders issued against him since he was appointed to the position in 2018.
Israeli authorities have imposed several military restrictions on Ghaith, including preventing his entry into the occupied West Bank and limiting his movement within Silwan.
He is also banned from communicating with 51 national and official figures, including Palestinian leaders.
Ghaith has been under house arrest for various lengths of time since 2018. Last year he traveled abroad — to Morocco — for the first time to attend an event supporting Jerusalem, after years of being denied the right to travel.
The Palestinian Authority said that Israeli authorities’ measures against Ghaith were intended “to cut off his connection with the political and national scenes in the occupied capital (Jerusalem),” the WAFA news agency reported.
