| JERUSALEM, Oct. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Israel is worried about possible European Union (EU) sanctions in light of the growing European criticism of Israel's actions in the Palestinian territories, local newspaper Ha'aretz reported Sunday.
Israeli government sources predicted that the Europeans will try to exploit the "diplomatic vacuum" created by the American elections.
When the European Council of Foreign Ministers met last week, it adopted a resolution criticizing Israel and instructed the EU's foreign policy chief Javier Solana to draft recommendations for a Mideast strategy for the council's next meeting on Nov. 5.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry believes that Solana will present a detailed list of measures to advance the roadmap on the Middle Eastpeace process and the establishment of a Palestinian state. Enditem |
