Saar Announces His Intent to Open an Israeli Embassy in Slovenia

Translation by SadaNews - Israeli Foreign Minister Gidon Saar announced on Thursday evening his government's intention to open an Israeli embassy in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.

According to what was mentioned by the Hebrew newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth's website, Saar's announcement came immediately after the Slovenian parliament approved the formation of the new government led by the right-wing Janez Janša.

Saar stated: "Janša is a loyal friend of Israel, and his election presents a unique opportunity to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries. The relations have witnessed tension in recent years due to the hostility expressed by the previous government, and the Foreign Ministry will seize this opportunity without delay."
