WATCH NOW as Ireland’s Defence Minister Helen McEntee has called for a stronger and more unified European Union response to global conflicts, urging consistent enforcement of international law across both the war in Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking during EU defence discussions, McEntee stressed the need for coordinated action against violations, including stronger pressure on Russia and consideration of measures related to Israeli settlements. She also emphasized the urgency of unlocking EU defence funding mechanisms to boost military assistance for Ukraine, particularly in air defence capabilities.
The remarks highlight growing calls within Europe for deeper defence cooperation, increased strategic spending, and faster decision-making through mechanisms such as the European Peace Facility.
Ireland also confirmed a continued rise in defence investment, reflecting a broader shift in Europe’s security priorities amid ongoing geopolitical instability and hybrid threats.
