Manage episode 490338085 series 3635836
Today Foreign Affairs ministers are gathering in Brussels for a Council that was never going to be easy. Because in the last 72 hours, everything has turned into a geopolitical balancing act.
EU foreign ministers arrived expecting to discuss Israel’s war in Gaza. That alone is a diplomatic minefield. But then came the twist with US President Donald Trump ordering airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, dragging the EU into a broader Middle East crisis, whether it’s ready for it or not. But will the EU follow through with action or just statements?
Join us on our journey through the events that shape the European continent and the European Union.
