Israel: Sweden's Jerusalem Division Plan Damaging to EU
(Ynet News) Roni Sofer - Israel on Tuesday slammed a Swedish proposal to recognize eastern Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine. "The move being led by Stockholm damages the European Union's ability to take part and be a significant element in the mediation efforts between Israel and the Palestinians," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Yossi Levy. "The Europeans must pressure the Palestinians to return to the negotiating table. Such moves like the one being led by Sweden lead to the opposite outcome."
