The European Union's High Commissioner for Foreign Policy and Security, Josep Borrell, stressed on Wednesday that a possible solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must be "imposed from the outside."

Josep Borrell said in a speech he delivered during a diplomatic conference in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, that "the Israelis and Palestinians will never be able to reach an agreement."

"What we have learned over the last 30 years and what we are learning now from the tragedy in Gaza is that the solution must be imposed from the outside," Borrell said.

Josep Borrell acknowledged the massive human losses resulting from excessive Israeli bombing of civilians, warning that the numbers of displaced people would reach unprecedented levels.

This comes as voices criticize the role of the European Union and its inability to enforce humanitarian and international laws.

The European official's statements coincided with renewed clashes between Palestinian factions and the Israeli army in Khan Yunis and the northern Gaza Strip, amid continued Israeli bombing of the Strip.

Moreover, clashes continue in the Gaza Strip for the 89th day in light of the continued intense Israeli bombing of various cities in the Strip, amid a worsening humanitarian catastrophe, and increasing escalation in the region.
