Gaza
Together with six other colleagues from Greens/EFA I visited East Jerusalem and the West Bank - on a mission to see the situation on the ground, listen to people directly affected, and assess developments that are often discussed in Europe without enough attention to daily reality.
The Israeli government keeps escalating its actions in Gaza. The EU must respond and draw consequences. In Parliament, with our first resolution in a long time, we made it clear: we support Ursula von der Leyen’s initiatives from the State of the Union — but we need to go further.
