EU top diplomat sees US ‘fatigue’ in the Middle East

In a visit to California, the European Union’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell strongly criticised Israel’s war on Gaza, saying that Palestinians were “dying and starving and suffering in unimaginable proportions” and that it was a “man-made disaster”.

“I see a certain fatigue from the US side to continue engaging in looking for a solution,” Borrell said in a speech on Monday at Stanford University, which was publicly released on Tuesday.

“We are trying to push with the Arab people in order to build together, the Arabs and Europeans, to make this two-state solution a reality,” he added.
