Brussels - The foreign ministers of the European Union will hold an extraordinary meeting via video conference next Tuesday to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East.
Kaja Kallas, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, expressed deep concern on behalf of the European side about the rapidly deteriorating situation in the region, describing it as dangerous and warning that events are close to spiraling out of control, according to the Middle East News Agency.
In a statement, she emphasized the urgent need for this expanded consultative meeting between EU foreign ministers. The goal is to exchange perspectives, assess the situation, and coordinate possible actions, especially regarding relations with both Tel Aviv and Tehran as the EU considers its next moves.
