Josep Borrell, High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, has admitted that the European Union will face more obstacles in getting support from the United Nations for decisions on Ukraine due to the situation in the Middle East.

"Look at the response from Latin America... Some countries have summoned our ambassadors to inform them that they consider our attitude towards Gaza inconsistent with what we stand for in Ukraine," Borrell said in an interview with La Vanguardia.

The European diplomat noted that countries such as Chile, which had significantly contributed to condemning Russia, say they do not understand the EU's stance on Gaza.

"They don't think we are consistent. The conflicts are different, but world public opinion compares our stance on both," Borrell added.

The official stated that the EU's attitude towards the conflict in Gaza has weakened the bloc's positions.

"The leader of one of the Arab countries put it quite sharply: it seems that we do not value the lives of both sides equally," Borrell said.

Josep Borrell stated that the European Union is facing growing hostility in the Muslim world and beyond due to accusations of pro-Israeli bias and double standards concerning the war in Gaza.

The EU diplomacy chief also mentioned that the Palestinian Authority should take control of the Gaza Strip once the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist group is over.

Before that, Borrell urged Israel against letting its rage consume it in the war against the Hamas terrorist group.
