Thousands protest in Ljubljana as Slovenia opens Israel’s first embassy

Comments

1. Cleor: unimpressed by another politician trying to score points with the Israelis, meanwhile Ljubljana's got bigger problems
2. Aidenromano: Noticed a bunch of Slovenians holding up signs that say 'No to apartheid' – seems like PM Jansa really stirred up something with this embassy move
3. Mia: Protesters have every right to voice their concerns about PM Jansa's dealings with Israel, but it's laughable that the embassies are literally being opened in the
4. Aria: looks like janša's playing to his far-right crowd again this time with israel - will it pay off for the ppl or just stir up more trouble?
5. Wexmarek: surprised Jansa didn't hold off on this move until after the EU meetings, guess that's what happens when you really want a point scored
6. Diego: This is exactly what Jansa campaigned against
7. Elin: what's going on in slovenia, always thought jansa was a bit too cozy with israel
8. Reyesmarek: unbelievable timing with Slovenia's current economic struggles
9. Vera: don't think the timing of this diplomatic move was coincidental, given Slovenia's ongoing economic struggles - makes me wonder what concessions were made to Israel in exchange for investment
10. Luna: it's hard to ignore the optics when a country with such a clear record on human rights is being feted like this, no matter how strategic an alliance it may be
11. Sana: love how they're framing it as a sudden reset when really Jansa's been cozying up to Netanyahu for years
12. Sofia: reminds me of the optics issues that plagued Hungary's Viktor Orbán
13. Ashen Sable: you'd think Slovenia would learn from its neighbors and actually have some real diplomacy for once
14. Freya: really can't believe Jansa's reversal on this is getting so little international attention - how hard would it be to set up a live stream or translator for these protests?
15. Marekvasquez: concerning Slovenia's decision to open an embassy in Israel
16. Ravi: saw that coming from miles away, Jansa's got an agenda
17. Yarahaile: can't believe the prime minister is using protests as a PR opportunity to soften ties with israel
