Spoke with Iranian FM Seyed Abbas Araghchi. Risk of further escalation in the region is dangerously high. Diplomacy must prevail. The EU has always been clear: Iran must never be allowed to acquire a nuclear weapon. Only diplomacy can lead to a lasting solution. The EU is ready to support.

The EU is following the situation in the Middle East closely. We call on all sides to abide by international law, show restraint and refrain from taking further steps which could lead to serious consequences. My statement on behalf of the EU ↓ europa.eu/!QDwqpQ

Israel has the right to protect its security and people, in line with international law. Iran must take decisive steps to return to negotiations and pave the way for a diplomatic solution. Joint statement with E3 Foreign Affairs Ministers ↓ europa.eu/!KBVVgK

Iran must not be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, as it would be a threat to international security. I urge all sides to step back, return to the negotiating table and prevent further escalation. EU Foreign Ministers will discuss the situation tomorrow.

EU Foreign Ministers met today to discuss a wide range of issues: 🔹 Situation in the Middle East 🔹 Russian aggression against Ukraine 🔹 China and European security My press conference following the Foreign Affairs Council ↓

Canada is one of the EU’s closest partners – and a trusted friend. Today, I am proud to sign a new Security and Defence Partnership with Canada. At a time of rising tensions, it will deepen our defence ties and unlock new cooperation.

The announced reprieve in fighting between Israel and Iran is good news but remains fragile. All sides should stand by this and refrain from further violence. All further escalation must be avoided. (1/2)

The EU stands in solidarity with all those affected, including Qatar last night. This is the moment to return to the negotiating table. Let this be a turning point for the whole region. I will continue to work towards this end with all sides. (2/2)

Bem-vidu dear Foreign Minister Bendito dos Santos Freitas! Thank you for underscoring the strong shared commitment between the EU 🇪🇺 and Timor-Leste 🇹🇱 to democracy and rules-based multilateralism. It is great news that your country is expected to join ASEAN later this year.

Every inch of Russia’s war has been documented. There is no room for doubt – and no room for impunity. The agreement between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський and Council of Europe to set up a Special Tribunal sends a clear message: no one in Russia’s leadership is untouchable.

The agreement between the DRC and Rwanda marks an important step toward ending decades of conflict. I welcome US engagement that made this possible. For the deal to succeed, regional partners must be involved. The EU is ready to support both politically and economically.

#RedSea: Statement by the Spokesperson on the Houthi attack The EU strongly condemns the Houthi attack in the Red Sea on 6 July against the bulk carrier MV Magic Seas. These attacks must stop. europa.eu/!XFtnMQ

Today, we reached an agreement with Israel to expand humanitarian access to Gaza. This deal means more crossings open, aid and food trucks entering Gaza, repair of vital infrastructure and protection of aid workers. We count on Israel to implement every measure agreed.

My statement: europa.eu/!rgD48X

Today, we opened a new chapter in EU–Central America relations. I chaired the first ministerial-level Association Council, deepening our political dialogue. We addressed pressing geopolitical issues, promoted cooperation and agreed to expand investment and trade.

Today’s EU–Southern Neighbourhood meeting feels historic. Israel and Palestine are around the table. And for the first time in 11 years, Syria is there too. My doorstep ↓

Crimes against humanity. War crimes. Genocides. History has too many moments when silence followed horror. On the #DayOfInternationalCriminalJustice, the EU reaffirms its support for the International Criminal Court — for accountability, dignity and lasting peace.

#Syria: Statement by the Spokesman The European Union welcomes the ceasefire agreement reached between Syria and Israel, with the support of the United States and regional partners. The ceasefire must now be fully respected. eeas.europa.eu/eeas/syria-sta…

The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible. I spoke again with gideonsaar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points. All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges

#Syria: Statement by Kaja Kallas on behalf of the EU The EU strongly condemns the violence that resulted in hundreds of victims. We call for a transparent, credible and impartial investigation. The ceasefire now in place must be fully respected. consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press…
