The EU is deeply concerned about discussions in the Israeli Knesset on measures against @UNRWA & by the Land Authority order to UNRWA to vacate its Jerusalem premises in 1 month. We condemn any attempts to label a UN agency as a terrorist organisation. 1/2 eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israel-s…

Ireland 🇮🇪 has signed agreements for voluntary contributions - totalling €1 million – to the International Criminal Court ⚖️ These contributions will help improve the security of the Court, which is crucial in supporting the vital work of the ICC 👉 gov.ie/en/press-release/3ed5…

The largest expansion of the European Union in its history took place on this day 20 years ago, during 🇮🇪’s Presidency, when 🇨🇾, 🇨🇿, 🇪🇪, 🇭🇺, 🇱🇻, 🇱🇹, 🇲🇹, 🇵🇱, 🇸🇰 & 🇸🇮 joined our European family. Today we celebrate how every enlargement has made our 🇪🇺 stronger & more prosperous.

This morning I visited an @UNRWA school at the Talibeh Palestinian refugee camp in Amman. It was a pleasure to meet the students and teachers. This is clear evidence of UNRWA’s key role in creating opportunities & a future for young Palestinian refugees.

Disappointed & concerned at Georgia’s reintroduction of the draft “Transparency on Foreign Influence” law, which would have a chilling effect on civil society and is not in line w/core EU values & norms. We urge Georgia to return to its EU integration path eeas.europa.eu/eeas/georgia-…

Proud to make a difference: the EU is Azerbaijan’s biggest supporter when it comes to de-mining. By training an all-female de-mining team, the EU helps to increase the role women play in security. 🇪🇺🇦🇿

The UN Security Council has finally made an unambiguous demand for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza This cannot come soon enough An end to this conflict, the immediate & unconditional release of hostages, and full, safe, unhindered humanitarian access is vital.
The Security Council just approved a long-awaited resolution on Gaza, demanding an immediate ceasefire, and the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. This resolution must be implemented. Failure would be unforgivable.

Pleased to welcome ⁦@UNLazzarini⁩ to Ireland. The international community must do the right thing. That means supporting #UNRWA and restoring funding to UNRWA. Ireland has today announced €20m in immediate funding to support the work in Gaza and across the region.
