The U.S. move to cut off foreign access to Anthropic's latest AI models affects EU-U.S. cooperation in cyberspace.

@RymMomtaz, @RCsernatoni, & @LouMarieHSD discuss what this means for Europe's technological sovereignty.

🆕 | Europe's industrial supply chains leave it vulnerable to global shocks, argue Milo McBride and Pauline Gerard.

It needs a green industrial strategy that balances durable partnerships and bolsters homegrown clean tech: https://t.co/OjNrBjJJzw

[Carnegie Europe @Carnegie_Europe]

As geopolitical rivalry weaponizes global supply chains, the EU's true vulnerability lies in emerging-risk imports.

For these goods, suppliers are growing more concentrated and political risk is looming.

The European approach to the Middle East currently has two guiding principles: Limit blowback and keep the international rules-based system on life support.

But every inch they give on this meek foreign policy will be a mile to recover, says @RymMomtaz.

Europe seems to have accepted its sidelining in the Middle East.

The EU must reassert its support for the international rules-based order and step up engagement, says @RymMomtaz.

🎧 | NEW PODCAST EPISODE

In the latest episode of Europe Inside Out, @RymMomtaz, @RosaBalfour, and @StefanLehne debate whether it is still worth it for Europeans to try and placate Donald Trump.

[Carnegie Europe @Carnegie_Europe]

Countries face several hurdles in joining the EU, including the final stage of ratifying their accession treaties.

Procedural reforms and substantive adjustments could help move the process forward, argues @StefanLehne: https://t.co/Uu6qjy2nEB

This is not a “buffer” zone. This is occupied #Lebanese territory. Almost 15% of the country. #Israel #Lebanon

[Maha Yahya @mahamyahya]

#Lebanon #Israel ceasefire agreement. A Deja Vu moment Again a unilateral agreement that allows Israel to bomb when it sees fit. No mention of withdrawal from occupied zones & asks #Lebanese government to demonstrate their ability to ensure sovereignty!!

🧵 | The South Caucasus in 2026

The TRIPP project is designed to create a new dynamic of Armenia-Azerbaijan economic cooperation.

But Baku and Yerevan must first resolve their differences, write @Tom_deWaal, @ZaurShiriyev, & @AregKochinyan.

The fiasco of the Iran war will further weaken NATO’s gravitational pull on European allies.

Trump has done serious damage to Europe’s security and economy, while insulting his allies for not joining in his criminal folly, says @CER_IanBond:

🆕 | Montenegro and Albania are frontrunners for EU enlargement in the Western Balkans, but they can’t just sit back and wait.

To meet their 2030 accession ambitions, they must make a strong positive case, argue @DimitarBechev & @IlirianaG: https://t.co/iAs8sEvUmV

🇭🇺 | #Hungary's opposition party #Tisza has won a critical election for the future of the EU.

Cas Mudde explains why Viktor Orbán's defeat isn't a cure-all: The far right remains a major force in European politics.

The @AUBMC_Official in #Beirut #Lebanon is code yellow- causalities are non stop. As are ambulance sirens #Israel

[Maha Yahya @mahamyahya]

#Israel conducted around 100 strieks across #Lebanon in #Beirut #Saida the #Beqa among others. We are still trying to get sense of 8 strike sites in Beirut. No warning- heavily populated residential areas. Everyone in a panic checking on loved ones. Black smoke over #Beirut

[Javi López @javilopezEU]

Pushing the world to the brink only to step back is not foreign policy; it is reckless frivolity with catastrophic consequences.

The outcome is ruinous: innocent lives lost, regional chaos, the demolition of the international order, and mounting global economic damage.

Europe must not enable Trump’s wars. Europe must lead with strategic autonomy, political resolve, and the active defense of the rules-based international order.

[Rym Momtaz ريم ممتاز (rmomtaz.bsky.social) @RymMomtaz]

So will Netenyahu and Israeli officials be discredited in the White House and in Congress?

They either dramatically failed in their Iran scenario planning, which is surprising given their incredible intel penetration, or lied to Trump, the US President?

The U.S. acceptance of the Iranian proposal as a basis for negotiation is a *huge* concession. There is nothing about Iran’s nuclear program in there and it includes a toll for the Strait. (1/2)

[Nacho Sánchez Amor @NachoSAmor]

Israel, "the only democracy" in MiddleEast, has finally approved the discriminatory #DeathPenalty for Palestinians -by default and no appeal possible- that many Member states had warned against. So what is the EU going to do now? Turn a blind eye for ever?

[Rym Momtaz ريم ممتاز (rmomtaz.bsky.social) @RymMomtaz]

This is not a minority view in the Gulf. Most just don’t want to say it so explicitly publicly.
