Occupation state affiliates with Pacific Islands Forum
Israel announced its accession to the Pacific Islands Forum as a partner providing expertise in areas such as climate change and water management. This move reflects an effort to strengthen its relationships with countries in the region, especially those that have expressed support for Israel and established embassies in occupied Jerusalem. The forum, which includes 18 countries, has only seven members of the United Nations that have opened embassies in Jerusalem, including the United States and Nauru. Samoa is expected to join later. There is ongoing competition for influence in the region, with regional leaders emphasizing that external partnerships have become a strategic priority. Collaborating with Israel aims to leverage its expertise in tackling climate change, managing water resources, and promoting sustainable development. Israeli Foreign Minister’s visits to Fiji and Samoa, along with the inauguration of the embassy in Fiji, are among the steps taken to boost these relationships.
