RT by @EU_Commission: I warmly welcome the ceasefire and hostage release agreement in Gaza.

Hostages will be reunited with their loved ones and humanitarian aid can reach civilians in Gaza.

This brings hope to an entire region, where people have endured immense suffering for far too long.

Both parties must fully implement this agreement, as a stepping stone toward lasting stability in the region and a diplomatic resolution of the conflict.

With air traffic expected to grow, aviation, like all other transport modes, needs to play its part in delivering climate neutrality in the EU by 2050. 🌍

Decoupling air traffic from environmental impact is not only crucial but also achievable. The EU will keep acting to make it happen. ↓
