European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen called on Tuesday for an immediate end to hostilities in the Middle East, describing a “critical” situation for energy supply chains globally.
“We all feel the knock on effects on gas and oil prices on our businesses and our societies,” von der Leyen said alongside Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra.
“It is of utmost importance that we come to a solution that is negotiated, and this puts an end to the hostilities that we see in the Middle East,” she added. (AFP)
