    Speaking after talks Monday between EU and Arab League foreign ministers, EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said that the “special status and character of the city must be preserved.”

    She said the two blocs also “see eye to eye” that there can only be a two-state solution to the conflict, with Israel and the Palestinians living side by side in peace.

    The talks come as Washington prepares to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to a scaled-down, temporary facility that will open in Jerusalem in May.

    These are two anti-Israel and anti-Jewish blocs. Frankly, I don’t really care what they want. As long as these Arabs are making their existence all about taking what belongs to others and believing in the sanctity of terror, there is only one wish i have for all of them. Haman’s gallows are like to a toothpick to what these chalerias deserve.

    Cheap talk to keeps the rabid animals quiet. There will never be a pali state due to Arab intransigence and G-d will never forsake the Jewish people.

    You see its working! First Guatemala, the US and Iran said they will move their embassies to Jerusalem and now a number of other states are making the same bold move. Soon Saudi Arabia and the other Arab nations will do the same. Bibi and Trump a pair of geniuses.
