The #UAE are Austria’s most important trading partner in the Gulf region with over 150 Austrian companies already present. Discussed with my colleague Dr. Sultan Al Jaber how to cooperate even closer in fields such as sustainability, intercultural dialogue or AI.

In Luxembourg, I had the chance to meet my 🇸🇦 colleague, H.H. Foreign Minister @FaisalbinFarhan . It is clear that the tit-for-tat in the region must stop. We need his and all the other reasonable voices in the region.

Extraordinary 🇪🇺 #FAC after #Iran ‘s reckless attacks. I call for extending EU sanctions against Iran. All actors in the region have to keep a cool head, I urge them to contribute to de-escalation. Our position is as steadfast as ever: #Israel ’s security is our raison d’état.

#Jordan is a level-headed and very trusted partner. Good to speak to my friend FM @AymanHsafadi today in the face of #Iran ‘s unprecedented regional escalation. Also discussed the importance of a pause in fighting in #Gaza for increased humanitarian aid and freeing of hostages.

Held a phone call with Iranian FM @Amirabdolahian this morning. Condemned the attack on #Israel in the strongest possible terms and urged to contribute to de-escalation. We cannot afford another front in the Middle East. Also discussed bilateral consular issues.

On behalf of EU Member States, I condemn in the strongest terms the Iranian attacks against Israel and call on all parties to exercise utmost restraint. I just spoke to Iran’s FM Abdollahian to convey these messages & urge Iran not to escalate further.

Extremely alarmed by reported drone attacks from #Iran against #Israel ! This is a new level of escalation in a situation which is already highly dangerous. Call on Iran and its proxies to stop adding fuel to the fire and to urgently reverse course.

Six dreadful months since #Hamas terrorists attacked  #Israel , causing intolerable human suffering for Israeli and Palestinian civilians. It's high time for a humanitarian pause! ❗️Hamas must release all hostages ❗️More aid must reach  #Gaza ❗️Humanitarian law is non-negotiable
