Foreign Minister Eli Cohen will depart tonight for Europe, stopping in Hungary, Austria, Croatia and Slovakia.
He will meet his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto and, though the details remain up in the air, there is a possibility that he will meet with Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Cohen will also participate in a meeting of the Austerlitz format, a regional forum of Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic. In total, Cohen will meet five foreign ministers during the four-day trip.
In a prepared statement, Cohen says that his trip to Central Europe “will strengthen our strategic cooperation with our friends, and create for Israel opportunities to advance its diplomatic and economic interests on the continent.”
This is Cohen’s seventh trip to Europe since he become Israel’s top diplomat in late December.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
