BRUSSELS, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) -- The EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell on Monday called for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East, declaring it as "the only way" to secure the release of hostages and de-escalating the "dangerous" situation there.
Marking the one-year anniversary of the current Gaza conflict, Borrell emphasized the global threat posed by the ongoing violence, pledging to work with international partners toward a ceasefire. "The people in the region are more insecure than ever and are caught in an unending cycle of violence, hatred, and revenge," he said.
