Foreign ministers remain focused on a diplomatic solution, but concerns about the war escalating are high. Any Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz would be extremely dangerous. My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓

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 ↓

Europe welcomes the announcement of a ceasefire by President Trump. It’s an important step towards restoring stability in a region in tension. This must be our collective priority. We call on Iran to engage seriously in a credible diplomatic process. Because the negotiating

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)

The ceasefire between Israel and Iran is an important step towards restoring stability in the region. Now the focus needs to be on effective diplomacy. A lasting peace in the Middle East requires a lasting solution in Gaza. We call on Israel to fully lift its blockade on Gaza.

Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. We call for Iran to cooperate fully with IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️ and resume negotiations. We support all efforts in the region towards stabilization and de-escalation. My joint statement with @g7 Foreign Ministers ↓ canada.ca/en/global-affa…

The EU member states' ambassadors in Israel had a constructive exchange with Opposition Leader @YairLapid on urgent regional matters. We reiterated our call for an immediate ceasefire and the unconditional release of all hostages, leading to a permanent end to hostilities.

Visiting the Soroka Hospital in Be’er Sheva, which was hit and damaged by an Iranian missile strike. Met with סורוקה- מרכז רפואי אוניברסיטאי director Prof. Shlomi Codish. Deeply moved by the resilience, dedication and humanity of the medical staff. Solidarity with Soroka. >

Together w/ Dep Mayor Shlomi Numa we visited the site of the deadly missile strike in Be'er Sheva, where 4 lives were cut short in an instant. My thoughts are with the victims’ families, the injured & the many families forced to leave their homes. Civilians must never be targets.

1/2 At the Weizmann Institute Institute with VP Professor Roee Ozeri. Met inspiring European Research Council (ERC) grantees whose life-saving research was destroyed by a missile strike from Iran. A terrible loss for global science. >>

2/2 Just a few days after the strike, six more Weizmann scientists were announced for ERC grants. Science will prevail.

Ramat Gan's resilience is amazing, despite the damages. I met Haim Kapach, the city’s security director, and Maya Cohen, who was forced to leave her home. Many homes are gone – but countless lives were saved thanks to preparedness and brave first responders.

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.

Met with Gideon Sa'ar | גדעון סער to discuss ongoing work to improve the humanitarian situation in #Gaza. Durable, measurable progress is essential. 🇪🇺 stands ready to support recovery in Gaza when conditions are met and we need 🇮🇱 to cooperate as well. Looking forward to an effective 🇪🇺🇮🇱

#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

Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law. Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long.
