I chaired the extraordinary EU #FAC following the Iranian attacks against Israel.
We were united in:
- condemning the attacks
- committing to Israeli security
- preventing an escalation & calling all actors to restraint
- increasing sanctions to Iran
- not forgetting Gaza.

A spiral of attacks & counter-attacks must be avoided. If the level of the response increases each time, we'll end up w/ a full-scale war. The region doesn't need it, the world doesn't need it.

We are at the edge of an abyss, said António Guterres. Need move from there.

An escalation would also increase the suffering in #Gaza .

Let’s not forget Gaza!

We must address the catastrophic humanitarian situation.

The amount of deliveries of humanitarian aid has increased very little compared to the needs.
