We agreed that the war in Gaza is an horrific tragedy for the Palestinian civilians ....But it is also a permanent threat for regional stability, and particularly for Lebanon. Across the Blue Line, it triggered the forced displacement of tens of thousands of civilians, who had to flee from their houses – on both sides of the border.
So it is Israeli actions that caused Hezbollah to fire rockets at Israel. This is the logic of the EU.
Throughout his remarks, neither Hezbollah nor Iran nor the Houthis are mentioned once, but Israel is. And when he answered a reporter's question about the possibilities of war, Borrell fully accepted the terrorist claim that they have no choice but to attack Israel and that somehow Hezbollah and Houthi attacks are defending Gaza.
[P]eace in the border between Lebanon and Israel depends also in the peace in West Bank and Gaza. The security of navigation in the Red Sea depends also on how the peace and stability is being reached in the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Borrell is saying that any party can attack Israel anywhere and anytime, and as long as they claim they are doing it for "Palestine" then Israel is responsible for their attacks.
Israel withdrew from Lebanon and the UN certified that i controls no Lebanese land. Hezbollah used the pretext of land that they continue to claim is Lebanese to build up a huge army, pretending it was to "defend Lebanon." Now Hezbollah claims it is defending Gaza,. Both those claims are obvious lies, but the EU officially accepts those lies as truth.
Iran and its proxies want to destroy Israel. They don't give a damn about Palestinians. But they are happy that they have useful idiots like Josep Borrell who are willing to believe their lies that their constant attacks on Israel are for good reasons.
Those reasons change with the seasons. This year they are "defending Gaza." Previously they claimed their attacks were because of "occupation" or "defending Lebanon" or because of Quran burnings or "Jews storming Al Aqsa" or "settler violence" or placing metal detectors in Jerusalem or any of a hundred other excuses they always have to murder Jews.
In the end, Borrell's considers the excuses of the terrorists to attack Jews to be convincing, and he doesn't believe anything the Jews say. .
