EDIP is gestemd. Een stap vooruit, maar lang niet genoeg.

Europa heeft leiderschap nodig en een eigen defensiestrategie.

Geen ad-hoc projectjes meer: produceer en koop defensie alles samen, richting één Europees leger.

Alleen zo kunnen we onszelf verdedigen. 🇪🇺💪

The beginning of the release of Israeli hostages is a first moment of relief and humanity. Now every term of the agreement must be honored, fully, immediately, and by all sides. True security and dignity can only come through a negotiated two-state solution.

The EU must ensure accountability and act for real peace. Member states should recognise the State of Palestine. Only two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, living side by side in peace and security can end this cycle of injustice.

The ceasefire must be immediate and made permanent. Every hostage must be freed. Humanitarian aid must enter Gaza now. The agreement and international law must be upheld, and those who violate them must face consequences.

We welcome the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. It is a crucial step, but not the end. Caution is needed. The violence must not resume, and the world must stay alert.

The EU is talking about a “drone wall” now. Good, but it’s not enough. We need a real European defence union with counter-drone capabilities built in: to intercept and neutralise.

Our citizens deserve credible protection, not patchwork defences.

We must ensure that humanitarian aid reaches every person, that all parties involved respect international law & that we begin the path toward a two-state solution by recognizing the State of Palestine-once all hostages have been released & with the condition that Hamas play no role in Gaza’s future

Enough is enough.

In Gaza, innocent people, children, babies are being killed every day, and Europe remains silent.
