State official: EU decision is bureaucratic, not political
None
A state official said that the European Union's decision to exclude Israeli bodies operating beyond the Green Line from agreements member states signed with Israel is not a political but bureaucratic.
"The clerks at the EU have distorted the decision taken by the EU's foreign ministers in December and caused very heavy damage and tensions with Israel," the official said. According to Foreign Ministry checks, some of Europe's leaders were unaware of the steps taken in this context in recent months. (Attila Somfalvi)
