“Perhaps we need a more robust mandate that not only allows us to prevent attacks, but also to respond to them.”
In Strasbourg, MEP @Nicolasdlparte (EPP) calls for enhancing EU maritime security in the Red Sea and the inclusion of the Houthis on the EU terrorist list.
“You cannot only defend against terrorists. You must also name them, isolate them, and cut their money.”

Three years after October 7, the European Parliament welcomed Omri Miran, who endured 738 days in Hamas captivity.
Thank you, @EP_President Roberta Metsola, for ensuring his story is heard in the heart of European democracy!
Three years after October 7, Commissioner @magnusbrunner sends a clear message:
“Jewish life belongs to Europe, and it is our duty to protect it.”
Remembering the victims of Hamas terrorism also means confronting antisemitism and ensuring Jewish communities feel safe in Europe.
“Freedom, YES! Tolerance, too! Naivety, NEVER!”
MEP @zoidoJI delivered a blunt warning on Islamism:
“No Islamic law can take precedence over our democratic laws.”
Europe must defend religious freedom, but never allow those who seek to exploit it to undermine democracy.

"Born a Muslim, I say this clearly: we must not be naive. Political Islamism is patient, and its networks can exploit our democratic systems from within."
MEP @Assita_Kanko on how Europe must confront extremist networks, scrutinise funding, and defend the democratic values.
“Islamist infiltration does not always begin with the sound of gunfire. It begins with a smile, a neatly tied tie, and the language of human rights turned against the very values it claims to defend.”
MEP @CelineImart in the : Europe must stop mistaking complacency for tolerance.

“Do they not see the danger, or do they simply refuse to see it?”
MEP @Sophie_Wilmes called for a European strategy to address the Muslim Brotherhood, including identifying its networks, full transparency on funding, and stricter controls on access to our institutions.

Europe’s scientific and technological future is being shaped now.
During his visit to Israel in July, MEP Dr. Christian Ehler discussed the future of Israel’s participation in Horizon Europe and opportunities for deeper cooperation and research in space, quantum, cybersecurity, defense and innovation.
This is how Israel and Europe shape the future: #together .
“Freedom will come. Until it does, it is our job to stand with those fighting for it.”
MEP @HNeumannMEP marks four years since Jina Mahsa Amini’s death, calling on Europe to stand with Iranians resisting repression and to confront the regime’s transnational repression.

“The sudden Houthi advance did not happen by coincidence. It is part of a bigger agenda to destabilize the West.”
MEP @hildebentele on the Houthis’ advance toward the Bab al-Mandab Strait and the growing threat to Europe’s security and economy. Europe cannot ignore this threat!

“The threat is Iran. The threat is its proxies.”
MEP @TonoEPP calls for the Houthis to be added to the EU terrorist list, stronger Operation ASPIDES, and deeper cooperation with Gulf partners and through the Abraham Accords.
Europe must act. 🇪🇺
“As long as the Iranian regime continues to export violence, there will be no lasting peace in the Middle East.”

Six years after the Abraham Accords, the promise endures.
Despite immense challenges, the Abraham Accords prove that dialogue, cooperation and shared interests can build lasting relationships.
ELNET remains committed to strengthening and expanding regional integration.
The best way to celebrate the Abraham Accords is to build on them.

Yesterday morning, MEP Christian Ehler, Special Rapporteur of the European Parliament on Horizon Europe, visited the Weizmann Institute of Science.
He met with Prof. Avishay Gal-Yam, Vice President for Development and Communications, and with Prof. Karina Yaniv, of the Department of Immunology and Regenerative Biology. MEP Ehler also toured the Ullman Building of Life Sciences, which was struck by an Iranian missile last year.
More than a symbolic visit, this was a meaningful exchange between people united by a common conviction: that science, innovation, and international cooperation can help shape a better future.

ELNET is honoured to welcome MEP Christian Ehler to Israel . A key architect of the European Parliament’s work on Horizon Europe.
At a time when meaningful engagement matters more than ever, firsthand dialogue remains essential to strengthening understanding, cooperation, and the EU-Israel partnership.
“🇪🇺 As long as we allow ourselves the luxury of division, we will remain a powerless observer in the Middle East.”
MEP @CharlesGoerens: Gaza’s reconstruction demands more than humanitarian aid - it requires accountability, unity, and a credible path toward a two-state solution.
Stability in the Middle East is inseparable from Europe's security. A lasting peace requires a credible two-state solution: two democratic states, free elections, and no place for extremism, whether Hamas or extremists in the West Bank.
MEP @SCHIEDER in today's plenary session.
