ROME – EU Foreign Policy Chief Josep Borrell has warned the Middle East is on the edge of a regional war.
He made the comments on the Italian resort island of Capri where G7 foreign ministers are meeting to discuss the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
“Humanitarian catastrophe continues,” he said. “Humanitarian support has increased, but [it’s] very, very, very, very insufficient. We have to ask Israel for a restrained answer to the Iranians attack. We cannot escalate.”
“I don’t want to exaggerate but we are on the edge of a war, a regional war in the Middle East, which will be sending shockwaves to the rest of the world, and in particular to Europe. So stop it.”
