5. SCREENGRAB OF POST BY SLOVENIAN PRESIDENT NATASA PIRC MUSAR, READING (Slovenian): "Slovenia wants a peaceful and stable European neighbourhood. Therefore, it is striving for more intensive European involvement in resolving the situation in the Middle East. Here, as the EU, we have unfortunately not been outwardly united and effective enough. We are watching genocide in Gaza and are silent. While defending international and humanitarian law, the EU's central goal must be the earliest possible cessation of hostilities."
