Iran Press/ Middle East: “The EU Delegation to Israel 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 EU stands for,” the EU office in Israel said in a tweet.
“However, the Europe Day cultural event for the Israeli public will be maintained to celebrate with our friends and partners in Israel the strong and constructive bilateral relationship.”
The Israeli government has named Ben Gvir to attend the EU event on its behalf, a decision that has caused diplomatic friction between the EU and Israel.
