I think that it will be a very timely Foreign Affairs Council.

Hopefully the negotiation for a peace deal will resume in Islamabad between Americans and Iranians today.

The ceasefire is ending very soon, potentially as well,

so it is time to see diplomacy in action.

We need a political solution, no more war, no more bloodshed, no more schools,

hospitals being targeted, and no more people fleeing their house.

So as a commissioner for humanitarian aid,

I will inform the minister and the Council of the humanitarian situation the whole Middle East is on fire from Lebanon to Iran,

from Gaza to. West Bank.

So it is our common responsibility today to find a political solution, to put diplomatic pressure on all sides,

and of course for that the member states must speak with one voice.

So as commissioner for humanitarian aid, I will inform them on the situation.

The suffering is immense in the whole region.

We will hear also about, from the Prime Minister, the Lebanese Prime Minister, himself,

I will be there as well to, to, to meet him and, I will, yeah.

Convey one main message to the Lebanese people and to Lebanon.

The EU stands with Lebanon from day one. We have been committed.

We have stepped up our humanitarian contribution 100 million.

The 5th flight Abridge with humanitarian supply is reaching Beirut tomorrow and another 6th 1 is planned in 10 days, and I will be myself in Beirut while it will reach Beirut and Yes, again,

my plea is to have a diplomatic political solution because yes, we can be committed, we can be present in Lebanon,

in the Middle East,

but what is more likely to alleviate in the longer term the suffering of the population is peace.

I will also inform the minister from the outcome of the conference on humanitarian situation in Sudan,

the conference on Sudan in Berlin, which was very successful, mainly for two reasons.

The first is that because the EU pledge was very important, much more than last year.

And so our EU pledge with the member states was about 800 million.

It's more than half of the global pledge of 1.5 billion.

And the second reason is that because for the first time,

The Sudanese civil society gather together in Berlin and succeed to publish a,

a common call for ending this brutal war.

So I think that we are closer, a little bit closer to an agreement. I hope so. Thank you.
