Brussels, 13 October (LaPresse) – "The return of the Israeli hostages is a moment of pure joy for those families. And a moment of relief for the whole world. It means that we can turn the page. A new chapter can begin. Europe fully supports the peace plan brokered by the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey." This was written on social media by the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. ‘The finalisation of the agreement ending the war today in Sharm el-Sheikh will be a historic milestone. We are ready to contribute to its success with all the tools at our disposal. In particular, by providing support on governance and reform of the Palestinian Authority. We will be an active force within the Palestinian Donors' Group. And we will provide EU funding for the reconstruction of Gaza,’ she announced.
