Is there anything to say about Lithuania supporting the State of Israel in their never-ending struggle? Are Lithuania's efforts all too little or too much? Israel's political affairs and their strive for the best for themselves are instructive. What can we learn from this approach? Lithuanian historian, political scientist and author Šarūnas Liekis responds to these questions by exploring Lithuania's relationship with Israel in this exclusive interview for EN15min.

“Israel is a young state that was born from a very ancient people. First existed the people, then existed the state, and now we are looking at the connections or the relations between ancient people and the modern standard state, the modern nation-state. So, this is a unique case in this sense,” notes Hamutal R. Fuchs, Head of the Department for Jewish communities at the Israeli MFA. In an exclusive interview for the EN15min, Fuchs stresses the importance of sustaining connections and building bridges between Jews in Israel and Jews across the ocean and around the world.

Although statistics show fewer bankruptcies, this is only a temporary phenomenon due to changes in the regulation of insolvency of legal persons. The number of bankruptcies after a pandemic should increase, as not all companies will be able to restore their viability.
