Disagreement within EU on Sanctioning Israel over Sovereignty for West Bank Communities
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - EU member states are divided on how to respond to the possibility of Israel applying sovereignty in parts of the West Bank, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell said Tuesday. "Everything in [EU] foreign policy requires unanimity, especially sanctions, and we are for the time being far away from discussing about sanctioning," Borrell said. The matter is "a very divisive issue inside the [Foreign Affairs] Council and different member states have different positions."
