Cohen, Borrell plan Israel-EU summit in Jerusalem – Cohen barred Borrell from making an official visit to Israel earlier this year. | The Jerusalem Post

An EU-Israel summit will likely be held in Jerusalem this year after Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell defused past tensions in a long meeting in Brussels on Tuesday.
Cohen barred the EU high representative for foreign affairs and security policy from making an official visit to Israel in March after the latter wrote a blog post in which he appeared to equate Israeli terror victims with Palestinians killed by the IDF and Hamas’s refusal to recognize Israel’s existence to coalition politicians opposing a two-state solution. The two spoke on the phone at the time, and Cohen called the comparisons unacceptable.
