Original Note:
As President of the European Commission Von Der Leyen does not infact have the authority to set foreign policy. Decisions regarding foreign policy are a dependency of member states - therefore Von Der Leyen cannot unilaterally state that the "Israel can count on the EU". https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2023/10/13/as-von-der-leyen-visits-israel-is-the-commission-overstretching-its-powers/ https://european-union.europa.eu/priorities-and-actions/actions-topic/foreign-and-security-policy_en
