Brussels, 1 October 2024
The EU condemns in the strongest terms Iran’s attack against Israel which constitutes a serious threat to regional security. The EU reiterates its commitment to the security of Israel.
Once again, a dangerous cycle of attacks and retaliations risks fuelling an uncontrollable regional escalation which is in no one’s interest. The EU remains fully committed to lower the tensions and contribute to de-escalation to avoid a dangerous regional conflict.
The EU is and will continue to be in close contact with all actors to this end. We call on all parties to exercise utmost restraint.

Statement by EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
Brussels, 2 October 2024
I condemn yesterday’s ballistic missile attack launched by Iran against Israel in the strongest terms.
Such actions threaten regional stability and escalate tensions in an already extremely volatile situation.
I urge all parties to protect the life of innocent civilians.
The European Union continues to call for a ceasefire across the border with Lebanon, and in Gaza, and for the release of all hostages that are held since almost a year.
