    Israel’s Foreign Ministry said Sunday that Netanyahu had ordered contacts frozen until a “reassessment process is completed.”

    It did not go into detail as to which institutions are affected. The peace process with the Palestinians broke down early last year.

    Israel also said it would suspend dialogue on certain political issues earlier this month when the EU issued its new directive that labels Israeli produce made in the West Bank. Israel says the labeling is unfair and discriminatory. The EU says it is an accurate depiction of origin since the goods are not made in Israel.

    WOW It looks like Israel us happy with Oabama. Only the EU is suspended. So why is everyone here hacking Obama when it’s clear that the problem for Israel is Germany, France, England, Russia etc. Obama is the only true friend left.
