JAKARTA - The EU's top diplomat said the Israeli government's refusal was unacceptable, unable to expect other countries to forget about it, criticizing the desire to destroy the Hamas militant group.

"It is unacceptable (for Israel) to say that "I don't want this solution", said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.

Speaking ahead of a meeting of European and Middle Eastern foreign ministers in Brussels, Belgium, Monday local time, Borrell added, "the entire international community supports" a two-state solution.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly rejected calls from the international community regarding a two-state solution to resolve his conflict with Palestine. Borrell also questioned other alternatives on the Israeli side.

"What other solution is in their minds? To make all Palestinians flee? Killing them?," he asked.

He further said that the solution of the two countries with an independent Palestinian state was the ultimate goal of the 27 members of the European Union.

Borrell also said that although Hamas was part of the problem, Israel's way of trying to destroy the militant group was "clearly" wrong and seeded hatred "for generations."

Quoting Reuters, Borrell said he wanted to continue international efforts to create a process that would lead to a Palestinian state coexisting with Israel.

As previously reported, foreign ministers of EU member countries (EU) are planned to hold separate talks with their sides from Palestine and Israel today, discussing the peace process after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected calls for the formation of the Palestinian State.

The 27 European Union ministers will first meet with Israel's Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, before sitting separately with the main diplomat of the Palestinian Authority, Riyad al-Maliki. Katz and Maliki themselves are not expected to meet each other.

Katz and Maliki will also address separately at a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels today, which will also be attended by colleagues from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and the Secretary General of the Arab League.

On that occasion, Borrell will explain the ten points of the peace plan between Israel and Palestine.

In a letter to member states, Borrell wrote a roadmap would "disentangle, with a practical proposal, based on agreed principles that only political, sustainable, and long-term solutions to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that would bring peace and stability to the two nations in the region."

Meanwhile, according to Euronews, Borrell's plan to call for full normalization between Israel and Arab countries will create an "early framework" for Israel-Palestinian peace within one year. There will be a "strong security guarantee" for both countries, and the agreement will "require full diplomatic recognition and integration of Israel and Palestine in the region."
