Israeli embassy opens in Slovenia
Israel today, Wednesday, inaugurated its embassy in Slovenia, a move reflecting a rapprochement with the new government formed by Prime Minister Yaniš Janša after his victory in the March elections. This step comes amid increasing diplomatic isolation faced by Israel worldwide due to its policies in the West Bank, where Britain, France, and Canada have banned the importation of Israeli settlement products. The initiative is widely unwelcome in Slovenia, as student movements and a left-wing opposition party are expected to organize protests against the embassy opening. During his two-day visit, Israeli Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi will meet with his Slovenian counterpart to sign a memorandum of understanding and promote economic and cultural cooperation.
