Brussels: High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy of the European Commission Kaja Kallas expressed Tuesday the bloc's categorical rejection of any attempts to introduce changes to the ground or demographic composition in the Gaza Strip or any other region in the world.

According to Qatar News Agency, during a regular meeting of the Security Council on cooperation between the UN and the EU, Kallas welcomed the Arab plan for recovery and reconstruction, recently presented at the Arab League summit in Cairo and also adopted by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), noting that the EU will study these ideas with its Arab partners.

She said that the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is still in action, albeit fragile, stressing the need not to politicize or subject humanitarian aid to conditions, and to lift all restrictions imposed on the delivery of relief on a large scale.

She highlighted the EU's support for diplomatic efforts, affirming that the two-state solution remains the only way to achieve lasting peace and security in the Middle East.

She also noted that the EU will remain a reliable partner to the UN in all areas, from supporting international law, human rights, and peace efforts, to security, promoting multilateralism, funding, and humanitarian efforts.

The EU's rejection of any changes on the ground or to the demographic composition of Gaza comes in the context of growing Arab and international concerns about the repercussions of the Israeli aggression, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of Palestinian deaths, injuries, and missing persons, and has caused widespread destruction in the Strip.
