Climate politics in Europe intensify as a second heatwave looms, following approximately 1,300 heat-related fatalities. The European Green Deal, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, faces scrutiny as reliance on air conditioning grows amid rising temperatures, challenging the balance between climate goals and urgent public health needs.

Jacob Nagel, former national security advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stated that the European Union’s pressing challenge lies within its own borders rather than external conflicts. He emphasised the strain in EU-Israel relations, particularly following Israel’s Foreign Minister severing ties with the bloc’s foreign policy chief.
