NNA - EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Monday a UN court ruling telling Israel to stop its offensive in Gaza's Rafah must be implemented, as European ministers met Arab counterparts in Brussels.

"We have to express not only respect, but to ask for the implementation of the decision of the court," Borrell said at the start of the meeting in Brussels.

"This is really a dilemma how the international community can... force implementation of the decision."

EU foreign ministers were holding talks Monday with their counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar as part of a diplomatic push for a two-state solution after the Gaza war.

"We will hear their vision on how to support Palestine and Palestinian authorities, and how to revitalise the political process," Borrell said.
