This resolution assesses the EU's common foreign and security policy in 2024 and sets Parliament's priorities for 2025, covering Russia's war on Ukraine, the Middle East, partnerships, and EU action abroad. It condemns Russia's aggression, demands accountability, supports Ukraine's self-defence, and calls for sanctions and military aid. It calls for a two-state solution in the Middle East, a ceasefire in Gaza, and condemns Iran's destabilising role. It urges closer cooperation with like-minded partners, including the UK, US, and Indo-Pacific countries, and a tougher stance on China. It demands stronger EU external action, more funding for the EEAS and civilian missions, and better parliamentary oversight.
