From GPS jamming and submarine cable exposure to AI-driven disinformation, civilian digital infrastructure is no longer separable from civilian life itself - it needs to be protected because it’s a human right. Great to reengage with Becky Anderson on @cnni's Connect the World to discuss the digital cost of the current conflict affecting our region and beyond - and why it’s time for all of us to collectively treat the safeguarding of critical digital infrastructure as an urgent global responsibility, not a future consideration. My sincere thanks to @BeckyCNN, @CNNConnect, and @cnni for the opportunity to speak on this critical subject. And for a deeper dive into the state of affected digital infrastructure, and how we can better safeguard and protect civilian digital ecosystems during conflict, explore the @dcorg's newly released report: dco.org/civilian-digital-eco… #DigitalProsperity4All #DigitalResilience

EU foreign affairs chief @kajakallas tells @BeckyCNN that accusations that Europe has not done enough to support them throughout the war with Iran are “unfair.” "We have Russia’s war going on for four years, we haven’t seen really the Gulf countries helping us there."

Great to join @chrissymacCNN on @CNNConnect. I explained that if Trump is actually trying to bring this war to a close, he is doing so in the most reckless way possible. I also noted the high probability that we end up with a new round of conflict in the next six months.
