The high representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and vice president of the European Commission, Josep Borrell, accused Israel this Friday of “fund” Hamas “for years to try disempower the Fatah Palestinian Authority.” In addition, he has advocated for “imposing” the creation of a Palestinian State in the face of the refusal of the Government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

On the other hand, Borrell has warned that the world lives in the “greatest geostrategic risk” since the missile crisis of 1962 in the middle of the Cold War, which It reminds you of the political situation before World War II. This was stated by Borrell during his speech at the solemn investiture ceremony, at the proposal of the Institute of European Studies, as an ‘honoris causa’ doctor from the University of Valladolid, an institution that highlighted his “remarkable teaching projection”, as well as his research. with “geostrategic dimension in Spain and the EU”.

Precisely, regarding this international panorama, Borrell has assured that the current moment is characterized by the discovery in Europe of “the hardness of a harsh, conflictive and dangerous world for which we were not prepared” because, in essence, “the EU is based on rejecting violence. On denying it.” This is a violence for which Europe “was not prepared” and which “will mark the most immediate future”, such as the “war of aggression against Ukraine and the war between Israel and Palestine with the tragedy of Gaza.”

Impose the State of Palestine

Regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine, Borrell has advocated “impose from the outside” the creation of a Palestinian state despite Israel’s current refusal and thus end the conflict because otherwise the “spiral of hatred will continue generation after generation.”

“Hamas has been financed by Israel for years to try to take power away from the Palestinian authority of Fatah,” said Borrell, who has sued with “urgency” a humanitarian pause in which the situation is “stabilized” in the strip, the Israeli hostages are “released” and Israel “withdraws from Gaza” once this happens.

The trade battle between the United States and China, local conflicts such as the one between China and Taiwan or who will be the future president of the United States are other topics that Borrell addressed during his speech, which in its conclusion warned that “the supremacy of the West in the world is coming to an end” andIn a world where history “is no longer measured in years, but in weeks and months,” he added
