He argues that while Slovenia does not lose sovereignty within the EU, it risks being used as an instrument of Israeli foreign policy. The discussion also includes Minister Tone Kajzer's view that Slovenia's stance has led to positive reactions from Israel, including the opening of an embassy in Ljubljana. Türk expresses concern that Slovenia might become a tool for Israeli interests rather than its own, noting the significant risk posed by this potential alignment.
