This resolution assesses the EU's common foreign and security policy in 2024 and sets Parliament's priorities for 2025, covering Russia's war against Ukraine, the Middle East, enlargement, and cooperation with partners. It condemns Russia's aggression and calls for increased support to Ukraine, including military aid, sanctions, and a tribunal for the crime of aggression. It urges a ceasefire in Gaza, release of hostages, and a two-state solution, while condemning Iran's destabilising role and supporting Lebanon's stability. It calls for stronger ties with like-minded partners, including the UK, US, and Indo-Pacific democracies, and for reforms to EU decision-making, including qualified majority voting. It demands more resources for the EEAS and civilian missions, and a stronger EU foreign policy budget in the next multiannual financial framework.
