The AJC Transatlantic Institute (TAI) works to strengthen EU ties with Israel and advocates for a strategic partnership between them based on shared democratic values, interests, and history.
AJC maintains a formal partnership agreement with the Jewish Community of Estonia, and AJC’s Warsaw-based Shapiro Silverberg Central Europe Office and Brussels-based Transatlantic Institute engage regularly with Estonian officials.

The European Union has often condemned Israel in one-sided statements that favor the Palestinians, ignoring the context of Israeli actions and without condemning Palestinian terror attacks on Israel.
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc across the globe, some countries have been more successful in battling the virus than others. Notably, in Denmark, Austria, and Israel the number of new infections has gone down and authorities are now starting ease restrictions.
