Herb Keinon i Jerusalem Post skriver om EU:s direktiv:
'We will not accept any external dictates regarding our borders'
" Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Tuesday slammed new EU guidelines preventing grants to Israeli entities beyond the Green Line,
saying he would expect those concerned about world stability to deal
first with more pressing issues like Syria’s civil war and Iran’s
nuclear march.
“As Israel’s prime minister, I will not allow hundreds of thousands of
Israelis living in Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights and our united
capital of Jerusalem to be harmed,” he said.
...Later, in an interview with Germany’s Welt am Sonntag newspaper,
Netanyahu termed the measure “wrong,” and said it was “an attempt to
force on Israel the final borders through economic pressure rather than
through negotiations.”
...
The prime minister said that while this was wrong at any time, it was
particularly ill-advised now with US Secretary of State John Kerry
trying to get the parties into negotiations.
“It hardens the
Palestinian positions, it causes Israelis to lose confidence in the
impartiality of Europe,” he said. “I think for years the Europeans have
been whining about the fact that the Americans are not involved enough.
Now that they are involved, this action actually undermines the American
effort. It undermines the negotiations.”
...However, the official said, under the guidelines, Jerusalem’s Rene
Cassin School in Ramat Eshkol – just past the ’67 lines – could not take
part in any EU-sponsored or -organized youth program exchanges."
