I welcome today’s vote by the U.S. House of Representatives.

#Ukraine will have the transatlantic support it needs to stand up to Russian agression.

The EU has decided to sanction extremist settlers in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem for serious human rights abuses against Palestinians.

We strongly condemn extremist settler violence: perpetrators must be held to account.

Meeting with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya in margin of G7. At time when Lukashenka's regime is oppressing free voices & opponents, many Belarusian people resist w/ courage & determination.

The dire situation in #Ukraine & the #MiddleEast on top of our G7 Italy agenda

We need faster, concrete commitments to support Ukraine militarily

We need to stop the escalation in the Middle East, get to a ceasefire in Gaza & the liberation of all hostages, increase humanitarian aid

In depth exchange w/ David Cameron on #Ukraine & #MiddleEast .

Need to step up our efforts to urgently provide Ukraine the means to defend itself.
And avoid further escalation in the Middle East, while increasing aid to Gaza and pushing for the liberation of the hostages.
#G7

Timely call w/ Saudi Foreign Minister HH Prince فيصل بن فرحان on latest developments in the Middle East. Shared sense of urgency to work together on deescalation & find a sustainable way out of the crisis. EU-GCC Security Forum in Luxemburg good occasion to take this forward.

Spoke with Palestinian PM Mustafa today about the situation in Palestine and the region.

I reassured him of the EU’s continued support to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe in #Gaza , reform and strengthen the Palestinian Authority, and hold violent settlers accountable.
