In addition to the conflict in Ukraine, Kallas addressed the situation in the Middle East, condemning the politicization of humanitarian aid in Gaza and highlighting the importance, “for Europeans” of excluding that of any future role in reconstruction of the region. “Everyone condemned the politicization of humanitarian aid, which should reach the needy people,” he said.
