“We will continue to strive towards de-escalation. Ending the crisis in Gaza as soon as possible, particularly with an early ceasefire, will make a difference,” he said.
The situation in the Middle East, particularly Lebanon, is scheduled to be discussed at an informal summit of EU leaders in Brussels on Wednesday and Thursday.
