Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said in Jerusalem on Sunday that the Taliban considers Turkey as an ally.
I have to say that this is something that has created a very positive element, our cooperation, to address climate change and the results of climate change. @IsraelMFA

I will meet with the Israeli Minister of Energy, @KElharrar, afterwards to speak about energy cooperation, interconnectivity, renewables, gas. We can really create a lot of things, beneficial for our three countries, for the region and also for Europe. @IsraelMFA

Our objective today was also to find new ways to institutionalize our participation of strategic partners of our trilateral scheme. Luckily, they are many. And we believe that other countries eventually will share the same principles with us and the same values with us.@IsraelMFA

You, @yairlapid, have termed a phrase: “Circle of Life”. Countries that promote peaceful coexistence, moderation, prosperity, International Law. But unfortunately, we also see a vicious circle contrary to this circle of life. @IsraelMFA

There are countries in our neighbourhood that, contrary to what we believe is even in the interest of their own societies, try to revive old empires and, even worse, old understandings. Literally buried in the sand of the past. @IsraelMFA

And they’re using many tools. Military incursions in other countries, meddling in the internal affairs of other countries, asymmetrical warfare, proxy warfare. And, of course, sometimes they instrumentalise migration, which is totally unacceptable. @IsraelMFA

It is clear for us that the best way to address the problems of today is being together with friends. Building bridges of stability and prosperity for all. Open to all the willing countries in Europe, in the Middle East, in the Gulf and even beyond. @IsraelMFA
