Israel foreign ministry: EU rejects peace plan with ‘threatening language’

by Jordan Hilger, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The EU rejected US President Trump’s Middle East peace plan Tuesday, opposing its annexation elements that Israeli leaders have vowed to implement within weeks and promising legal opposition to attempts by Israel to carry out Jared Kushner’s vision.

EU foreign policy chief and top diplomat Joseph Borrell said the European Union took issue with the plan’s departure from the “1967 lines,” or Israel’s borders before it recaptured the Gaza Strip and West Bank in the Six-Day War in 1967.

The European Union was “especially concerned by statements on the prospect of the annexation of the Jordan Valley and other parts of the West Bank,” Borrell said in a statement, suggesting that “steps toward annexation, if implemented, could not pass unchallenged.”

Israel’s foreign ministry spokesman called the EU top diplomat’s censure “threatening language,” and Hebrew media reports noted that efforts by Borrell to issue a joint statement by all 27 EU members condemning Trump’s plan failed for lack of support from Italy, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, and others.
