Israel Freezes Cooperation with EU in West Bank
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff and Yaakov Lappin - Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon ordered the IDF's civil administration to cease cooperation in joint projects with the EU in the West Bank in response to new measures the EU has taken against Israeli settlements. The IDF will refuse to grant new permits or renew existing permits for EU construction projects in Area C, which is under Israeli civil and military control. It also will not issue or renew any EU travel documents.
