EU to recognize East Jerusalem as capital of Palestinian state
The EU is expected to make an official call for the division of Jerusalem, to serve as the capitals of both Israel and Palestine. (Pierre Turgeman)
If you think the Goldstone Report’s reactions from Israel were something….. you ain’t seen nothing yet!
Wait till the official statements from Israel’s Foreign Office get issued regarding the European Union’s proposal to divide Jerusalem and to recognise East Jerusalem as the Capital of the Palestinian State.
Sweden is already on Israel’s ‘list of anti-Semitic nations’ because of the organ fiasco of a few months ago….. now this…. the proposals regarding Jerusalem’s division originated in Sweden……
The Swedish draft represents the first official EU articulation of a solution for one of the core issues of the final-status arrangement between Israel and the Palestinians.
Lieberman’s office already has it’s gears in motion….
Israeli diplomats have been following the Swedish initiative for several weeks. Israel’s Brussels-based ambassador to the EU, Ran Kuriel, sent several messages to Jerusalem last week accusing Sweden of leading the union on a “collision course” with Israel. Kuriel wrote that Britain and France support the Swedish position, while Germany, Spain and Italy are disinclined to side with Israel on the matter.
Senior Foreign Ministry officials said the belief is widespread across the foreign policy echelon that Sweden is advancing an explicitly “anti-Israel” line, rendering Europe “irrelevant” to the peace process.
So, get ready to hear the loudest cries of anti-Semitism ever….
