Middle East conflict: agreement at EU summit

Two wars, many positions and a long dispute: At Thursday’s summit in Brussels, the EU’s 27 heads of state and government reached the limits of their common foreign policy. While they were largely united on the Ukraine war, the debate on the war in Israel and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza was marked by disagreement. The debate dragged on until late in the evening; summit head Charles Michel had to amend his draft several times.
