William Hague says he told Defense Minister Ehud Barak — who is visiting London — that Britain is seriously concerned about Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank. He said the settlements “run contrary to peace.”
The two leaders met for talks Thursday. Hague said in a statement that they also discussed developments in Libya and Egypt, as well as the recent seizure of an arms shipment, allegedly bound from Iran to Gaza.
Hague said that if the shipment did originate in Iran it would offer further evidence of its intent to disrupt regional stability.
Where was he when 5 Yiddishe neshumas were brutally taken by those rotzchim?
Building a new community doesn’t kill!
Help I’m gonna throw up if I hear another politician speak about the settlements…
Family members are still sitting shiva, and he’s busy with peace talks! We’ll give them the same “peace” that they’re giving us!
Israel should have initially (after the six day war) refrained from using the term ‘settlements’. If only Israel would called them by what they truly are, cities, they might have avoided their current plight vis a vis these settlements. Settlements give the impression and a sense of temporary dwelling vs cities solid and permanent.
Wait, isn’t it the Palestinians who refuse to have direct talks with the Israelis? What does the British FM mean when he says Israel needs to return to the talks. Israel never left. Why does the world always place the blame on Israel? Why does no one hold the Palestinians to task? Oh, because they are helpless children. Silly me for even asking!
Tell those slimy limeys to mind their own business and shove it !!!
Wait a minute, there were 2 radar installations made in ENGLAND???????? Help me out here somebody? Irony of ironies!!!! This is the pot calling the kettle BLACK!!
The UK lecturing Israel? What a joke!
England get out of Ireland!
Return to peace talks? There’s nobody to return to.
Did he say how he feels now that protests have spread to Syria too? The entire Islamic Middle Eastern world is in turmoil and civil unrest and Hague wants Israel to be concerned with the Palis? Wait, give it time, they too will be fighting amongst themselves!
England long since ceased to be an important country. And if not for Liverpool, it would no longe be a useful one.
