Kaia Kallas, the EU’s foreign policy chief, expressed concern over rising tensions following recent clashes between Iran and Israel, urging both sides to return to the negotiating table. She referred to the exchange of attacks between the two parties but did not take a clear stance regarding Israel’s violation of the ceasefire in Lebanon. Without condemning recent actions, Kallas emphasized the need to prevent the conflict from spreading in the region. The EU official, who had previously refrained from taking a clear critical position during conflicts related to US and Israeli attacks against Iran, once again limited herself to calling on \u201call parties\u201d to resume dialogue. In recent years, the European Union has consistently stressed diplomatic solutions in Middle East conflicts, but its approach to the latest developments has prompted reactions and questions regarding the balance of its stance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
