EU aims for Israel reboot with summit – New leadership in Israel and a desire for non-Russian gas suppliers has opened the door for rapprochement in an often testy relationship. | POLITICO

The EU is seeking to reset its often testy relationship with Israel next week, convening a summit on Monday of senior political figures for the first time in a decade.
The meeting format, known as the EU-Israel Association Council, has essentially been dormant since 2013, when Israel canceled a gathering in protest over the EU’s stance on Israeli settlements in the West Bank. Since then, the two sides have continued to clash over similar issues.
