European leaders talk big but struggle for relevance in a changing middle east
European leaders are good at talks. Conferences and summits are the EU’s lifeblood. But high-level dialogue does not equal relevance — something the EU is struggling with.Beset by a global crisis, the EU wants distance from a deeply unpopular war, but still contributes something. The Strait of Hormuz has to be open without any tolls, and efforts are being made to ensure that. Existing missions in the region could be expanded to quickly form coalitions.
Invited to talks in Cyprus were leaders from Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and the Gulf, aiming to forge closer ties and tackle shared challenges. The EU is trying to remain a relevant diplomatic actor in the Middle East, a region in turmoil at a time when Europe’s power and voice are increasingly in question.
Their presence suggests Europe still has something to offer. Syria seeks a return to the international fold. Lebanon looks for support amid ongoing Israeli attacks. But from across the Atlantic, criticism has been dismissive of these efforts.
Even the summit’s framing — described as informal with no binding outcomes — reinforces doubts about whether Europe can move beyond rhetoric.
