FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The Tel Aviv regime has called in European ambassadors, slamming their countries for what it called their “one-sided” pro-Palestinian stance, after Israeli envoys were summoned in protest at the regime’s illegal settlement plans.
On Friday, Israeli Minister for Foreign Affairs Avigdor Lieberman summoned the envoys of Britain, France, Italy and Spain, expressing Tel Aviv’s anger at the European states’ “perpetual one-sided stance against Israel and in favor of the Palestinians.”
The Israeli ministry stated that such “unacceptable” stance “creates the impression they [European countries] are only seeking ways to blame Israel.”
On Thursday, Israeli ambassadors in four key European states – Britain, France, Italy and Spain – were called in over the Tel Aviv regime’s plans to expand its illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Israeli ministry for foreign affairs further claimed, “Beyond being biased, unbalanced and ignoring the reality on the ground, the positions held by these states significantly harm the possibility of reaching some sort of agreement between” Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also censured the decision by the four European Union states and said the block “should end its hypocrisy over condemning Israeli settlements.”
On January 10, Tel Aviv unveiled plans to build more than 1,800 settler units in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) and the occupied West Bank, only days after fruitless efforts by US Secretary of State John Kerry to broker a deal between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
On January 12, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton voiced “deep concern” about Israel’s new announcement.
More than half a million Israelis live in over 120 illegal settlements built since Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and East al-Quds in 1967.
