The foreign minister of Palestine, Varsen Aghabekian Shahin, is scheduled to hold meetings with a number of European foreign ministers, including Kaja Kallas, in an EU meeting in Brussels, where Israel’s foreign minister will be present as well, AFP reports.

Israeli and Palestinian foreign ministers were also due to meet in Brussels today, but the Palestinian Authority denied that the two would meet.

According to a statement by the Palestinian Authority, “The minister will demand an immediate halt to the crimes of genocide, displacement and annexation, and to compel the Israeli government to comply with the international will for peace and open a political negotiation process to end the occupation and enable our people to exercise their right to self-determination,”.

Israel’s foreign minister Gideon Saar is also expected to meet with foreign ministers on the sidelines of the event and will hold talks with the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas.
