Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar inaugurated the Israeli embassy in Slovenia on Wednesday, marking the fifth embassy opened by Israel in the past 18 months. The move follows the change of government in Ljubljana, with Slovenia's new right-wing administration reversing previous policies.
Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar inaugurated Israel's embassy in Slovenia on Wednesday, the fifth Israeli diplomatic mission opened in the past year and a half, The Zioneer reports citing Israeli media.
The embassy opening follows a change of government in Ljubljana. As The Zioneer reported in June, Slovenia's new right-wing government rescinded its recognition of a Palestinian state and signaled plans to move its embassy to Jerusalem. In July, the Israeli government unanimously approved Ruth Cohen-Dar as the first resident ambassador to Slovenia.
Sa'ar's diplomatic push has yielded new embassies in several countries, reflecting Israel's ongoing efforts to expand diplomatic ties.
