Josep Borrell, the EU’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, has issued a new plea to end the war in Gaza, which he warns has brought the region to “the brink of a war of unknown proportions”, Al Jazeera reports.
“All those standing the way of de-escalation shall be held accountable,” said Borrell in a post on X.
Borrell’s comments echo growing fears among policymakers of conflagration in the Middle East, as Iran and its allies threaten to strike Israel in response to its alleged assassination of several high-level Hamas and Hezbollah leaders last week.
