Israel says EU can play bigger role
Suggesting a warming toward Europe, Israel’s foreign minister today said the EU should play a bigger role in the Mideast peace process while still urging a “more balanced approach” toward the Palestinians.
“I don’t accept the formula that has existed for many years, that Israel can live without Europe and Europe can live without Israel,” Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said after meeting his 25 European counterparts in Brussels.
