If EU diplomats can be the target of the IDF in the West Bank, imagine how the Palestinians are treated.

Netanyahu says he is engaged in a war of civilisation over barbarism, but the civilised world has concluded that it is the IDF that is engaged in a campaign of barbarism.

The UK is not just a partner of the EU; it's a like-minded, strategic ally.

I called on the European Commission to approach the upcoming EU-UK summit with maximum ambition. We need to see progress on trade, energy, youth mobility, and finance.

It is in our towering interest to work together 🇪🇺🇬🇧

I spoke to Claire Byrne this morning about the impact of tariffs for the European and Irish economy 👇

The execution of paramedics and the burying of an ambulance must count among the darkest episodes of this war.

Israel must understand that there is no military solution that can resolve the Palestinians' right to self-determination.

Violence feeds only more violence.

Aid agencies are afraid to speak out because they might lose their funding if they do.

I spoke about this to Prime Time last week 👇
