So When Will the UN Summon Israel over it’s Warcrimes?
The Israeli regime has summoned envoys of Britain,
France and Germany over the European Union’s proposed ban on it 28
members from any dealing with illegal settlements in the occupied
territories.
Tel Aviv has warned the ambassadors of and EU-Israeli crisis in case
the ban is put in place, AFP quoted a high-ranking Israeli official as
saying.“The British and French ambassadors and German number two were invited yesterday to the ministry… for discussions on the EU guidelines,” he said.
“We asked the ambassadors to tell their capitals that no Israeli government would accept these conditions, and they could provoke a serious crisis with Israel,” he warned.
The EU has issued guidelines in its Official Journal that prohibit its members from funding or dealing with all Israeli settlements in al-Quds (Jerusalem), the West Bank or Golan Heights, which the Tel Aviv regime occupied during the 1967 war.
The British embassy has refused to comment on the meeting but Germany and France have confirmed their envoys were summoned by the Israeli regime’s officials on Thursday.
French ambassador to Tel Aviv, Christophe Bigot said they were called in by Israeli foreign ministry’s director, Rafi Barak.
Meanwhile, the EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said in a statement on Friday that the ban “reiterates the long-held position that bilateral agreements with Israel do not cover the territory that came under Israel’s administration in June 1967.”
The EU and much of the international community consider over 120 settlements built since the 1967 Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East al-Quds as illegal.
