Mofaz: EU support for Palestinian state will lead to violence
The chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, Shaul Mofaz, met with ambassadors of the European Union in Israel and told them that the EU's function is "to break the freeze" and encourage direct negotiation between Israel and the Palestinians.
Mofaz added that the EU should not back a Palestinian unilateral declaration of state as this would only engender "another round of violence". (Attila Somfalvi)
