A ceasefire agreement in Gaza, fragile but ongoing

EU foreign policy chief Kaya Calas attended a news conference on Monday after the EU’s foreign ministers’ meeting.

At the beginning of his news conference, he addressed the issue of the Ukrainian war.

“Ukraine needs more ammunition and wider sanctions against Russia,” said the EU’s foreign policy chief. Ukraine’s security is European security. “

“For this reason, the EU foreign ministers supported the extension of sanctions against Russia,” he said. “These sanctions will prevent Putin (Russian President) from using extensive resources to feed his war machine.”

The claim comes as Russia’s economic growth is breaking record, and Russia’s “war machine” is moving widespread across the Ukrainian fronts.

However, Calas claims: “With the arrival of winter, Russia is using energy as a weapon. The Kremlin is using various tools. “In difficult conditions, the EU will always support its friends.”

“Russia’s combined attacks are expanding,” he said. Our failure to deal with these attacks will be dangerous, weakness will cause attacks, so we are all strengthening our readiness and endurance. “Any weakness will expand the possibility of other countries‘ attacks against Europe.”

Referring to the reduction of sanctions against Syria, Calas said, “While we are looking for quick action, the sanctions will be returned in the event of wrongdoing.”

“The release of Israeli prisoners is good news,” the EU foreign policy chief said in a news conference. Palestinians are also returning north of Gaza. We call for a complete implementation of the ceasefire agreement. “This is a fragile but ongoing agreement.”

“We are increasing our support for the Lebanese government,” he said, referring to the ceasefire in Lebanon. “We have helped the Lebanese army more than € 5 million.”

In his remarks, Calcis went on to say anti -Iranian speech. He has never criticized the crimes of the Zionist regime, claiming “continuing Iran’s threats against world security”.

“The arrest and arrest of foreigners in Iran must be stopped to leverage political pressure,” he said. But we have to meet the European Union’s policies on Iran. “

Calas also spoke to EU relations with the United States, saying: “The emergence of the new US government in the United States has a huge impact on the European Union. We are stronger in unity. Europe is an economic power and political partner, and America is our biggest ally. Our enemies are working, so we must cooperate too. “There are many problems, but we will be effective with our cooperation.”

“We have imposed many sanctions against Syria,” the EU foreign policy chief said in response to a question about details of the reduction of sanctions imposed on Syria. “In the current roadmap, the sanctions will be reduced step by step.”

He acknowledged the role of sanctions in destroying the lives of Syrian citizens and other target countries: “In the first stage, some of the sanctions that have prevented the development of Syria and the lives of its citizens will be lifted. We are still worried about the hard -line government in Syria. “We have a political solution for now, and if Syria takes constructive measures, sanctions will be reduced.”

“I have to emphasize that the current agreement is a political agreement and the technical measures are still left,” Calce added.

Palestinians deserve peace

“The Palestinians have suffered enough suffering,” he said in response to a question about Donald Trump’s proposal for forced Palestinians in Gaza. They deserve peace. Much more actions are needed to achieve permanent peace. We have to act in line with the solution of the country. “

“America is our most important partner,” said Calas, in response to a question about Trump’s request to buy Greenland and the possibility of sending troops to the area. Working with them is very important. There are great ideas for the Greenland issue. “

Responding to another question about “US threats” against Greenland and the possibility of European military readiness to the United States, he said: “The tone of the new US government is full of demand for negotiations and concessions. We also have to speak in the same tone. “It is wrong to deal with such negotiations.”

“It is necessary to hear US officials’ statements, but not all of them should be heard,” the EU foreign policy chief said. Regarding our relations with the United States, I have to announce that I invited Marco Rubio to attend the EU Foreign Ministers’ meeting. I will travel to America soon. “

In response to another question, he said the EU should reduce its dependence on Russian energy.

“We should not be prejudiced,” said Calas again in response to Trump’s threats against Greenland. Europe is an economic power and we have important relationships with the US. So it is wrong to imagine that America is not interested in Europe. We also have cards in our hands. “We are also powerful and this power should not be underestimated.”
