Matthew Lee AP Diplomatic Writer Published 11:37 AM EDT Apr 4, 2019 Washington – NATO foreign ministers met Thursday to celebrate the alliance’s 70th anniversary amid rifts between members over security and trade issues. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo opened the meeting with an appeal for unity to confront “great power” challenges from Russia, China and Iran. He hailed NATO’s deterrence of the Soviet Union during the Cold War and said the alliance was well positioned to move forward as it confronts new and evolving challenges. But a deepening dispute with Turkey over its planned purchase of a Russian air defense system and U.S. demands for allies, particularly Germany, to boost their defense spending threatened to overshadow the proceedings even as the ministers agreed on action to confront Russia’s increasing assertiveness. The ministers agreed on a package of measures to assist alliance aspirants Georgia and Ukraine, notably in the Black Sea … [Read more...] about NATO ministers celebrate 70th anniversary amid rifts

Israeli Ambassador Anna Azari, flanked by other diplomats, hung the Israeli flag from a balcony of the historic Bristol Hotel in central Warsaw during a ceremony on Tuesday. Just as in 1948, a small crowd gathered below applauded and sang the Israeli national anthem. The modern state of Israel was created in 1948, and many of its early leaders and settlers were Jews from Poland — the European heartland of Polish Jewry before World War II. The event comes as Poland and Israel work to repair ties following tensions sparked by a controversial Holocaust speech law early this year. … [Read more...] about Israeli marks 70th anniversary of 1st diplomatic outpost
