German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Wednesday called for more support for Israel and de-escalation between Iran and Israel.
Scholzi spoke to those who arrived at the EU summit in Brussels, from his visit to China, AP reports.
Tensions in the Middle East and the continuation of the war between Russia and Ukraine top the agenda of European Union leaders at their summit.
As last week's unprecedented attack by Iran on Israel raised regional tensions and raised fears of a wider war, EU leaders will call on "all parties to exercise maximum restraint and refrain from any actions which could increase tensions in the region," according to a draft of their summit conclusions.
The EU will also consider further sanctions on Iran.
Russia's two-year war in Ukraine is also on the agenda on Wednesday, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expected to address the meeting remotely.
