NATO Secretary General Rutte Argues Europe Should Manage Middle East Security: 'It Is Our Backyard'
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that Europe should take responsibility for Middle East security once it rearms, calling the region Europe's backyard rather than the US's. This echoes President Trump’s criticism that European allies should handle regional threats like Iran and Houthi attacks. Meanwhile, Trump presented a $2.45 billion Gaza reconstruction plan via his Peace Council. At the UN General Assembly, French President Emmanuel Macron criticized the international community for insufficient action in Gaza, while Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza as state terrorism and called recent Black Sea shipping attacks unacceptable.
