The opening of the Rafah crossing marks a concrete and positive step in the peace plan. The EU’s civilian mission is on the ground to monitor crossing operations and support Palestinian border guards. For Gaza’s sick and wounded, the reopening is a lifeline. It will allow

Russia is failing on the battlefield, so it is trying to weaponise winter. The EU is responding with the biggest ever winter aid package. Just today, we provided an extra 500 generators and €50 million for energy support. In parallel, we increase pressure on Russia. Today,

The media could not be played.

Repression cannot go unanswered. EU Foreign Ministers just took the decisive step of designating Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organisation. Any regime that kills thousands of its own people is working toward its own demise.

Iran’s security forces are responsible for mass killings. Today, we are imposing new sanctions on those directly responsible for the violent crackdown on protests that has killed thousands. I also expect that Foreign Ministers will take a political decision for the EU to

We want strong trans-Atlantic ties. But Europe needs to adapt to new realities. It is no longer Washington’s primary centre of gravity. It’s time for Europe to step up and act with urgency. We must strengthen our instruments, end fragmentation, close our gaps and join forces

The Holocaust stands as the darkest chapter in human history. Today we honour the memory of the six million Jews, Roma and Sinti, and countless others who were senselessly murdered. Eighty-one years after the end of the Second World War, we are witnessing the highest levels of

There is strong momentum for closer cooperation with India, and we are seizing it. It is a pleasure to be in New Delhi today and an honour to attend the Republic Day celebration. As a symbol of our deepening bond, personnel from our EU naval operations, Atalanta and Aspides,

The word for this year has been unpredictability. This is what we are living through. But right now, it is important to focus back our efforts on stopping the war in Ukraine. Russia is increasing its attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, amid a

Today, the EU provided the first €10 million for a new Special Tribunal to prosecute Russian leaders for their role in Moscow’s war against Ukraine. Russia’s leaders are responsible for this war, and they must be held accountable. There can be no impunity. A pleasure to

Europe is ready to deliver on a powerful new agenda with India. Today, the EU agreed to move forward with the signature of a new Security and Defence Partnership. It will expand our cooperation in areas such as maritime security, counterterrorism and cyber-defence. I look

Iranian women and men are fighting for a future of their own choosing. For freedom, dignity, and a better life. The Iranian authorities’ brutal repression is unacceptable. The EU already has sweeping sanctions on Iran in place. We are working on new sanctions in response. My

The news of the train collision in Córdoba is devastating. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of the victims, and with the people of Spain in this moment of sorrow. I extend my deepest condolences to all those affected and wish strength and a swift recovery to all

China and Russia must be having a field day. They are the ones who benefit from divisions among Allies. If Greenland’s security is at risk, we can address this inside NATO. Tariffs risk making Europe and the United States poorer and undermine our shared prosperity. We also
