U.S. to Oppose Fence Debate at The Hague
(Maariv International) Eliel Shahar - The U.S. has promised Israel to submit, in writing, its opposition to the so-called "Fence Trial," to the International Court of Justice. The U.S. move follows understandings reached during talks between Foreign Ministry Director-General Yoav Biran and the Prime Minister's Bureau Chief Dov Weisglass, and representatives of the U.S. administration. The document to be submitted will express American support for resolution of the security fence controversy through future peace negotiations. Several European countries will submit similar letters to the International Court of Justice. Last Thursday, Weisglass met with U.S. National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice and requested that the U.S. lead the opposition to possible UN sanctions against Israel following the ruling at The Hague.
