The conference was concluded by H.E. Oren Rosenblat, Ambassador of Israel to Portugal, who emphasized the resilience of the Jewish people.

The Jewish people survived many periods of darkness and despair, but always chose to rise again. And this is also what we are seeing now.

Our last speaker was H.E. Amichai Chikli, Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism of Israel. We were honored by his digital presence.

He pointed out that countries, such as Spain and France are infested with antisemitism and are facing problems in stopping it.

Legislators, Jewish & Christian leaders from across Europe came together with a clear message:

Together we stand against antisemitism in all its forms!👇

Our last two speakers were Dr. Madalena Barata, IAF Country Director for Portugal and MP Pedro Frazão, the Chair of the Israel Allies Caucus in the Portuguese parliament. Both emphasized the importance of standing with the Jewish people and strengthening relations with Israel.

Today, I am proud to announce that Israel will open its first-ever embassy in Ljubljana.

The election of Prime Minister @JJansaSDS marks a new chapter in relations between Israel and Slovenia. After years of the hostility of the previous government- we now have an opportunity to rebuild, strengthen, and deepen a real partnership.

An Israeli embassy is more than a diplomatic mission. It is a statement of friendship, dialogue, and a shared belief in freedom, democracy, and security.

We are turning today a new page.

When Israel’s friends return to power - Israel returns.
🇸🇮🇮🇱
