The escalating violence between Israel and Hamas has pushed the war to the top of the agenda as NATO allies meet in Brussels. The ministers will also discuss support for Ukraine's defence against Russian aggression and NATO's missions and operations in Kosovo and Iraq.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the foreign ministers’ first joint meeting outside EU borders sent a signal that EU support is “unwavering” and underscored the EU’s commitment to Ukraine.
EU foreign ministers called on Thursday for a meeting with their counterparts from Ukraine and the western Balkans -- all candidate countries to the bloc -- by the end of September to discuss the enlargement process.
