Middle East needs post-war deal including Israel and Iran, says Finnish president

Middle East needs post-war deal including Israel and Iran, says Finnish president

Finnish President Stubb suggests a Helsinki-style security conference bringing together Israel, Iran, and other rivals after the war, inspired by the 1975 accords that eased Cold War tensions. He sees it as a first step toward deeper integration, possibly even an EU-like model. He also admits a double standard in Western foreign policy on Gaza, saying Israel has gone too far in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon. Stubb supports recognizing a Palestinian state, calling it a matter of 'when, not if.' He highlights closer GCC-EU ties and notes the Iran conflict has boosted Ukraine's drone and missile defense cooperation with Gulf states. https://www.thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026/05/21/finnish-president-suggests-helsinki-style-security-framework-for-middle-east-that-adopts-eu-model/

EU-like model in the Middle East? That's a far-fetched dream until Palestine is free and Iran stops its meddling.

Finally a Western leader admitting the double standard. Israel has crossed every line and still gets a free pass. Hypocrisy at its peak.

Recognizing Palestine is basic justice. Stubb is right, it's a 'when, not if.' But words mean nothing without action against Israeli aggression.

Helsinki-style talks sound nice on paper, but trust is zero after decades of broken promises. Palestine must be central to any deal.
