Launching our #EUWatchList 2025 today.
This was a hard one to pull together with so many uncertainties, and a major disrupter in the White House.
All the more important to discuss what the EU can and should do in this volatile year.

So excited to have you on our team, @dylanmcrosson. We are very lucky to have you on board!

Great to have @CrisisGroup President @EroComfort speak at EU PSC again this week.
An important time to speak about Sudan, present our latest report on Israeli settler violence & discuss EU relations with Global South.
Many thanks to @FienBZ & ambos for such a rich exchange
🎧Listen to my colleague @MMucznik discuss with @PawelZerka @onethuthree and @DimitarBechev what the Hungarian Presidency will mean for the #EU and how the far right can alter the direction of European politics.

Very interesting article explaining Kenya's protests by @Nanjala1
h/t @nazaninemoshiri
"A stable Kenya is crucial to western geopolitics, yet western institutions are also central to destabilising the country."

@JosepBorrellF at #EUISS2024: We need to maintain our capacity to intervene in conflicts outside Europe. Our security starts far away, in South Asia, the Straight of Hormuz, the Sahel. We have to have more political will and resources to respond to crises there.
Europe's strategic community convenes tomorrow!
#EUISS2024 annual conference will tackle tough choices facing the EU in an increasingly dangerous world.
With @EU2024BE & @EgmontInstitute.
Watch this space!
@CrisisGroup statement on a Gaza Ceasefire calls on Israel and Hamas to embrace the deal on the table as a humanitarian imperative and because neither side can achieve strategic victory.

Great to be part of these conversations of the Berlin Moot in Berlin.
Thanks to @BerghofFnd for making these timely exchanges with such diverse voices possible.
As war and conflicts shape our world, it is becoming increasingly rare to conclude peace agreements.
Read @fr's anaylsis of our conference #TheBerlinMoot on how we aim to #ReshapePeace amongst experts from all over the world: fr.de/politik/konferenz-weck… (in 🇩🇪)
This #EUCO was initially not planned as a Summit on foreign policy, but EU leaders cannot ignore the many burning crises.
They will spend this evening talking about Ukraine and the Middle East, and at the same time EU relations with Türkiye, very relevant in both contexts.
EU leaders will meet today for a summit where two conflicts are vying for their attention: Ukraine — where leaders can make a difference, and another — Iran-Israel — where they most likely can’t.
We'll be covering it live from 6pm CEST.

'Stopping Famine in Gaza', @CrisisGroup new report has a clear message:
"Only a prolonged ceasefire can improve access, movement and distribution enough to avoid mass death."

🗞️ | JUST OUT
Accused of double standards, the EU is losing global influence and credibility.
Rather than downscaling its foreign policy ambitions, the bloc should step up its international engagement & address partners' concerns, argues @StefanLehne.
