Premier Giorgia Meloni told EU leaders in a video-conference on the Israel-Hamas war Tuesday that the EU should not fall into Hamas’s trap of trying to derail the Abraham Accords normalisation process between Arab countries and Israel.
The Abraham Accords are bilateral agreements on Arab-Israeli normalization signed between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on September 15, 2020, with other countries hopefully to follow.
“Hamas’s attack appears aimed at preventing the process of normalisation started with the Abraham Accords, a trap into which Israel and all of us must avoid falling into,” Meloni told the extraordinary meeting of the European Council.
She said she had been “struck by the ferocity of the images in Israel and Hamas’s attempt to dehumanise Israeli citizens”.
She also stressed the importance of “returning to reasoning in terms of long-term solutions to the Israeli-Paletinian question, resuming the question of two peoples and two States, which must have as its premise mutual recognition and Israel’s right to existence and defence”.
