Israeli, Palestinian foreign ministers to attend EU meeting

Israeli and Palestinian foreign ministers were due at a meeting in Brussels between the European Union and its southern neighbours on Monday, but the Palestinian Authority denied the two would meet. It would be the first time since the Gaza war began in October 2023 that Israeli and Palestinian ministers attended a high-level meeting in the same room. The office for Israel’s Foreign Minister said alongside the ministerial meeting, Gideon Saar would hold talks with the EU’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and the bloc’s Commissioner for the Mediterranean Dubravka Suica.
