And why we should be proud serving the EU and its citizens.

A poignant moment on my return to Re'im, the site of horror and the terrible massacre of 7 October 2023.

Here, where the hearts remain heavy & the memories remain painful.

At the site of the Nova festival, I paid homage to the victims.

All remaining hostages must be released.
