At Project Wadi Attir, I saw how the unique connection between traditional Bedouin knowledge and modern solutions can help mitigate the effects of climate change on agriculture, a challenge affecting many communities across the globe.

I concluded my visit to Haifa with an important panel discussion on "The Dual-Use Dilemma: Ethics and Accountability in Israeli R&D" at the Samuel Neaman Institute at the Technion. It was an open and constructive discussion with a group of impressive scholars from various disciplines.

During my visit to Haifa, I met with members of local civil society organisations who are making a real difference in their communities. We spoke about their important work and the obstacles they encounter. The EU remains committed to supporting civil society in Israel.
