Europe is responding to the challenging geopolitical environment: ▪️ We are supporting Ukraine in its defence against Russian aggression. ▪️ We are playing an active role in achieving lasting peace in the Middle East. ▪️ We are protecting our citizens and companies from economic shocks. ▪️ And we are preparing the ground for an ambitious long-term EU budget.

Amal Khalil was alive for hours. She phoned her family and the Lebanese military for help. People followed in horror as her colleagues updated the world on what was happening. And yet Israel blocked the Red Cross from reaching her for seven hours. That is stone cold murder.

En ce 24 avril, nous commémorons le génocide de 1915 perpétré contre le peuple arménien, et nous rappelons les liens fraternels qui unissent nos deux peuples. Aujourd’hui encore, ce peuple est au cœur d’une région en proie aux tensions et aux incertitudes. Nous formons le vœu que la paix, la sécurité et la justice puissent enfin prévaloir. Se souvenir, c’est refuser l’oubli, défendre la vérité historique et honorer la mémoire des victimes. N’oublions jamais.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 Israeli soldiers are looting civilian homes in southern Lebanon. Haaretz, an Israeli outlet, reported it based on testimony from the soldiers themselves. Regular and reserve troops are looting civilian homes and businesses in southern Lebanon at scale. TVs, motorcycles, sofas, carpets, paintings, loaded openly onto vehicles as they leave. They don’t even attempt to hide it. Commanders know, but most look the other way. The military police checkpoints set up to stop it have been quietly removed. One soldier's explanation: "What does it matter if I take it? It's going to be destroyed anyway." The harshest witnesses here aren't Lebanon or human rights groups. They're Israeli soldiers and that should tell you a lot.

Commémorer un génocide tout en fermant les yeux sur celui qui se déroule en ce moment 🤢

À Marseille, 111 ans après le génocide des Arméniens, la France se souvient. Un génocide. Un crime contre l’Humanité. Plus d’un million d’enfants, de femmes et d’hommes massacrés. Mais qui n’efface rien : ni la grandeur d’un peuple, ni la beauté d’une langue et d’une culture, ni une mémoire qui, ici à Marseille, continue de se transmettre. Fidèle à son histoire, la France est aux côtés de l’Arménie, pour sa défense et pour la paix. Sa souveraineté ne se négocie pas.
