Escalating Middle East conflict to top EU-GCC summit agenda

The escalating conflict in Gaza and Lebanon, along with the risk of a broader regional war, will be high on the agenda when European leaders meet their GCC counterparts on Wednesday. Energy, migration, and the war in Ukraine will also be discussed during the gathering in Brussels. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia is among leaders from six Gulf countries expected to attend this inaugural summit with EU leaders. The event will be co-hosted by Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim, President of the GCC, and European Council President Charles Michel.
