The jeltzale leader denounces the "desire of both leaders to establish a new order: the law of the strongest." Faced with this, he advocates strengthening the European project and sees "a ray of hope in the image that the main European leaders offered us by supporting President Zelensky in the White House. "

With regard to Gaza, it has denounced the "growing inability of the international community to preserve human rights" and condemned the "genocide" being carried out by the currentIsraeli Government in Palestine.
