The EU’s 27 foreign ministers are scheduled to meet their Israeli counterparts on 23 June for an EU-Southern Neighbourhood ministerial meeting which is aimed at deepening the bloc’s cooperation with Israel as well as nine other southern partners including Algeria, Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia.
“The objective is for Israeli representatives to be present at the meeting,” a senior Israeli official told Euronews, adding that the participation of Gideon Saar, Israel’s foreign affairs minister “is still to be confirmed”.
