EU foreign ministers gathered in Brussels on Monday to discuss the situation in the Middle East and Ukraine.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell will chair the Foreign Affairs Council meeting.
Informal exchanges are planned with ministers and other representatives from various countries including Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Secretary-General of the League of Arab States Ahmed Aboul Gheit, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, and Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki.
Borrell told reporters at the doorstep that this meeting would be "exceptional" with the attendance of many guests from the Middle East.
"How many is too many? ... How long is it going to continue?" Borrell asked, referring to the civilian casualties and the conflict.
He stressed that the ministers must start talking about peace and the two-state solution.
"The peace and the stability cannot be built only by military means," Borrell added.
Belgian Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib, for her part, reiterated her country's call for an immediate cease-fire and efforts for a two-state solution.
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne stressed that Ukraine is an "absolute priority" for Paris, and voiced hope for possible sanctions against violent Israeli settlers, particularly in the West Bank.
Israel launched a deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip following an Oct. 7 cross-border incursion by Hamas, killing at least 25,105 Palestinians and injuring 62,681. Nearly 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the Hamas attack, according to Tel Aviv.
The Israeli offensive has left 85% of Gaza's population internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN. -

A new statement has come from K.K., the tourism businessman father of 13-year-old A.E.K., who lived in the Milas district of Muğla and passed away from AIDS on November 11 while receiving treatment in Izmir. The grieving father said, "I learned that I was HIV positive while giving blood. I have no information on how it was transmitted to my son. As a father, I was very careful.
