1/3 As Europeans we are excited about football, but we are also not oblivious to the troubling aspects of the current FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Because the EU is based on a strong commitment to promoting and protecting human rights, democracy and the rule of law worldwide. >>
2/3 That's why we invited the Israeli public last night to an evening to discuss sports, politics, human rights and everything in between, with judoka @sagimuki, football legend Silvie Jean, ex-MK @ZouheirBahloul & world's first premier league trans football referee Sapir Berman.
3/3 And of course we also watched 🇩🇪 vs 🇪🇸. May the best team win, but of course we'd be happy for one of our member states to take the Cup home – as they have every single time for the last 20 years. Did you know that EU member states have won more than 50% of all World Cups?
