Excellent discussions at Herzliya Conference, but the non-mention of the issue of 🇵🇸 shows that 🇮🇱 has no policy worthy of the name on one of the issues most critical to its future. I don’t think 🇮🇱 can survive long term as a full apartheid state. It’s drifting dangerously.

The EU Delegation to 🇮🇱 is looking forward to celebrating Europe Day on May 9, as it does every year. Regrettably, this year we have decided to cancel the diplomatic reception, as we do not want to offer a platform to someone whose views contradict the values the 🇪🇺 stands for. >

Writing about Raoul Wallenberg in Haaretz - about the mistakes Sweden made but also about what we are doing today to commemorate this extraordinary hero. Let his deed inspire us to fight antisemitism and racism of today.

Intervju till TT idag: "Ramadan inleddes mycket lugnare än vad många bedömare hade trott, men sedan såg vi en ganska snabb eskalering. Kausaliteten är ganska oklar, vilken händelse som leder till vilken händelse, eller om det är parallella processer."
