Former Irish President Mary Robinson briefed the EU’s Political and Security Committee on Middle East instability following a diplomatic mission with global leadership group The Elders.

Former Irish President Mary Robinson recently briefed the European Union's Political and Security Committee regarding ongoing turmoil in the Middle East. Her presentation followed a diplomatic fact-finding mission across Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, and Lebanon alongside members of The Elders, an independent council of international leaders that she previously chaired.

The briefing illustrates Robinson's ongoing involvement in high-level diplomacy long after concluding her term as head of state. Since stepping down from the presidency, she has sustained an active presence in global affairs, focusing on international policy, human rights, and climate initiatives. Her recent activities also included public appearances in New York, reflecting a continued diplomatic role on the international stage.
