The European Union faces a challenging situation in the Middle East, with a year passing since the Hamas attack on Israel and ongoing disputes within the EU on how to approach the conflict. The upcoming appointment of Kaja Kallas as the EU’s new foreign policy chief raises questions about the future direction of the EU’s stance on the Middle East, as Kallas is perceived to be less committed to the issue compared to the current High Representative Josep Borell.
To gain insights on how the EU can break the current deadlock in the region, Radio Schuman spoke with Martin Konecny, director of the European Middle East Project. Konecny emphasized the importance of a coordinated and cohesive approach within the EU to address the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
In addition to the Middle East crisis, the EU is also facing challenges in other areas such as the shortage of healthcare professionals. Radio Schuman highlighted the issue, pointing out that Northern European countries are particularly reliant on foreign medical staff. Moreover, the program previewed Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s upcoming address to the European Parliament, where he will outline Hungary’s priorities during its EU presidency.
