Eli Cohen: "After we finish all the necessary legislative procedures, I estimate that Israeli citizens will be able to visit the US without the need for a visa by the end of the year."
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen met with European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhelyi as his first stop in Brussels on Tuesday.
Israel in particular wants the IAEA’s board to vote in June to ask the UN Security Council to reinstate crippling sanctions against Iran.
Herzog urged the heads of diplomatic missions to join Israel in making the Middle East “a better, safer, kinder place.”
Cohen's Turkmen counterpart called the embassy’s opening “historic” and underlined the importance of political and diplomatic interactions with Israel.
The trip to Azerbaijan had a large delegation and highlighted business and trade ties. Israel already has trade relations with Azerbaijan, but these are expected to increase.
The agreement was signed by Azerbaijan's Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mukhtar Babayev and Israel's Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, who was in the country on a diplomatic visit.
