EU leaders failed to issue a joint statement on the Israel/Gaza war at their summit in Brussels on Friday (15 December), despite shared views on what should happen after the conflict ends.

There was no statement due to disagreement on whether to call for a ceasefire, as shown also in a UN vote earlier this week.
