EU cancels event to prevent Ben Gvir from speaking
The European Union canceled part of its Europe Day event in Israel because National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir intended to represent the government and speak at the party. The EU embassy stated that they do not want to offer a platform to someone whose views contradict the values the European Union stands for. Ben-Gvir volunteered to be the cabinet minister who attends the event, and was not deterred from doing so by repeated complaints from the EU delegation to the Foreign Ministry.
