On September, 10, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has gotten the institutional process going by making her proposal in her State of the Union speech. October brings decisive opportunities to operationalize the EU’s role.

The Trump Gaza Peace Plan needs the EU, too

The EU can play an essential role in ensuring all phases of U.S. President Donald Trump’s peace plan are implemented by both Israel and the Palestinians. But for the union to exert its influence, Germany must rethink its unwavering support for Israel

If he succeeds, Trump could join the ranks of Egypt’s Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Yitzhak Rabin, leaders whose risks for peace reshaped history—an achievement that eluded even Biden and Obama, and one his most progressive critics might have to acknowledge.

Trump’s Gaza peace gamble

Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan has earned global backing—and with it, the real possibility of a Nobel Peace Prize.

Europe’s ‘coalition of the willing’ may at some point have to put peacekeeping ‘boots on the ground’ in Ukraine, but its weaknesses are daunting. The UK and France wrangle over their soldiers’ rules of engagement – should these deter Russian assaults or respond to them? As to capability shortcomings, the Europeans would have to rely on the US for intelligence, for many weapons systems and logistical support.

Sánchez’s sharp rhetoric on Israel may win headlines, but it also invites scrutiny.

For Brussels and Washington, the elections pose their own dilemma. In Georgia and Moldova, Western actors have drawn firm lines against Moscow’s proxies. In Kosovo, by contrast, they have treated SL as indispensable to participation, tolerating a monopoly for the sake of appearances. By accepting representation via a party compromised by violence and clientelism, Western policy risks damaging the country’s institutions and its own credibility on democracy.

RECOMMENDED

Seemingly decisive terms like “deal,” “success,” and “security guarantees” aim to project a sense of certainty, resolve, and consensus where they do not exist. In the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, such language framing policy and public debates not only does not help formulate a proactive and sustainable policy agenda but actively prevents its development.

The power of language on war and peace

Tuesday, September 30, 2025

U.S. President Donald Trump’s dealmaking approach to foreign policy has reduced complex negotiations to business transactions. But the now widespread use of euphemistic terms in global politics actively prevents the development of coherent policy agendas

Earlier this week - during a lengthy speech at the UN General Assembly - Trump also accused Nato allies of "funding the war against themselves" through their purchases of energy from Moscow.During Trump’s first term in office, the US removed Turkey from the F-35 programme after it purchased S-400 surface-to-air missile systems from Russia.

The EU’s failure? Treating cyber purely as a crime rather than a hybrid threat, unlike NATO’s robust protocols.
