Slovenia’s Foreign Minister, Tanja Fajon, held an official meeting with Shomron Regional Council Head Yossi Dagan in Ljubljana, at the request of Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Janša. The meeting marks a notable instance of engagement between a European foreign minister and a leader of a West Bank settlement council. Minister Fajon stated the two parties share a “common goal” and expressed enthusiasm for collaboration. Dagan reciprocated, affirming a desire for joint work. Details regarding the specific “common goal” were not immediately disclosed, but the meeting signals potential avenues for cooperation between Slovenia and the Shomron region. The meeting’s impetus from the Prime Minister suggests a deliberate policy initiative. This development occurs amidst ongoing international discussions regarding Israeli settlements and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
