They want member states to quickly expel asylum seekers deemed a security risk.

The deadly attack in Brussels came at a time of heightened security concerns linked to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

“It’s important that those individuals that could cause a security threat to our citizens be returned forcefully, immediately,” EU migration commissioner Ylva Johansson told reporters ahead of the meeting. The 20-year-old, Russian-born Islamist Ingush accused of stabbing to death a teacher in northern France on Friday was known before the attack to be a possible security risk but could not have been expelled under current legislation, France said.

The attack in Brussels underlined persistent failings of the EU’s troubled migration and asylum systems, including security gaps and ineffective returns.Today’s meeting will also be the ministers’ first chance to exchange views in person since the Oct 7 attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas that killed at least 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians, and to which Israel has responded by bombarding Gaza.
