During a 10 hour meeting, European leaders agreed to a new deal on the Mediterranean migration crisis.

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, facing political pressure at home, had warned before the summit that the future of Europe depended on solving the migration issue, according to the Guardian.

Luxembourg’s PM expressed support for Merkel. Prior to the summit, Reuters quoted Bettel as saying:

“There are so many people who arrived in different countries and then made their way to Germany. I understand Germany says ‘Why do we have to deal with everything?’”
