Kuwait – “We believe that Europe has an important role and that we should also be part of that,” said European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas on Monday in response to a journalist’s question about a possible EU participation in the body called the “Peace Committee” in U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza.

The EU is the main donor of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians and maintains relations with the Palestinian Authority as well as with Israel, Ms. Kallas emphasized during her visit to Kuwait.

“I think that Europe should not only be a payer but also an actor,” she added during a meeting with the media on the sidelines of a ministerial meeting in Kuwait between Gulf countries and the EU.

“We have been working on the peace plan (…) and we are working with our Arab partners. They understand that it is in everyone’s interest for us to be there,” she continued. “Hopefully, the Israelis will also agree with that.” (October 6, 2025)
