Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli has been forced to cancel a trip to the European Parliament in Brussels due to security threats, the Prime Minister’s Office says.
According to the PMO, the decision was made “in light of concrete warnings, and in accordance with the guidance of security officials.”
Chikli was slated to appear on Wednesday at the European Parliament for an event marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, as well as at an event in the Belgian capital the night before.
Several relatives of hostages asked for his participation to be reconsidered in light of his staunch opposition to the recently signed Gaza ceasefire-hostage release deal.
