GENEVA/ ATHENS (AA) – The EU's foreign policy chief said on Monday that all UN members, including Israel, must comply with International Court of Justice (ICJ) decisions.

Josep Borrell said at a news conference in Brussels following a meeting of the European Political Community that "EU countries have reached 'necessary unanimity' to convene an Association Council with Israel to discuss the situation in Gaza, respect for human rights."

He noted that the EU agreed to reiterate “our demand on Israel to implement the International Court of Justice orders.”

He proposed that the EU combine the International Peace Conference with Arab countries' proposal to hold an international conference on how to implement a two-state solution to the long-standing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
