    “The European Union has requested clarifications from Israeli authorities and conveyed the expectation that they reconsider these decisions, which are detrimental to on-going efforts towards meaningful peace talks,” the statement said.

    “All settlement activity is illegal under international law, and it undermines the viability of the two-state solution and the prospect for a lasting peace.”

    The EU maintains that the lands Israel has occupied since the 1967 Middle East war – including the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights – are not part of the internationally recognized borders of Israel.

    Once again we hear that lie that there’s a peace process. It’s just another time to display the propaganda of the so called palestinians. THERE’S NO PROSPECT FOR PEACE WITH THEM. All they want is to destroy the state of israel ,and the create the illusion that they want peace. They will never sign a peace treaty with the enimy jews.

    If those lands don’t belong to us, then America needs to be given back to the indigenous people, Australia (it’s own continent) to the aborigines, Canada to the inuits & so on. Israel, ALL OF ISRAEL, including the west bank, Golan heights & Jerusalem is OURS. As for peace, there will never be a peace process only a piece process since the those blood thirsty, backwards thinking, barbarian animal don’t want peace with israel or any other country they want to murder all infidels.
