Arab states and the European Union agree on a two-state solution for the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell emphasizes that the Palestinian Authority should rule Gaza to avoid a power vacuum. The current truce is the first halt in fighting since Hamas attacked Israel, resulting in casualties and displacement. Israel demands that Hamas produce a new list of hostages for an extended truce. The Palestinian people should decide who governs them, with a focus on the West Bank and Gaza as one entity.
