Foreign Minister Israel Katz praises the outcome of the EU foreign ministers meeting earlier today, saying there is a “positive trend” toward adopting sanctions against Iran’s missile project and its proxies in the Middle East.
He also says in a tweet that a mechanism for making progress on designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organization will be established at the EU Foreign Affairs Council next week in Luxembourg.
Katz calls the development “an unprecedented achievement” for Israel at the EU.
