Luis Miguel Bueno, spokesman for the European Union in the Middle East and North Africa, said that the High Coordinator for Foreign Policy Josep Borrell informed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas of the European Union's commitment to continuing European support for the Palestinian people (the largest donor of 300 million euros annually).

At the same time, the European official stressed to the Palestinian president the necessity of ending the internal Palestinian division. The spokesman did not explain in his tweet the way in which the European message reached President Abu Mazen
