EU foreign ministers will hold a series of meetings Monday with counterparts from Israel, the Palestinian Authority and key Arab nations about the war in Gaza and prospects for a future peace settlement, officials said, APA reports citing AFP.
Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz and his Palestinian counterpart Riyad al-Maliki are not expected to meet each other during their Brussels visits.
The foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia will also meet with European ministers in Brussels as fears swirl that a wider conflict could engulf the Middle East.
European diplomats said their aim is to sound out each side over ways to end the violence on the ground and the next steps towards a longer-term solution.
The EU has struggled for a united stance on the conflict in Gaza as staunch backers of Israel such as Germany have rejected demands for an immediate ceasefire from the likes of Spain and Ireland.
