Peres urges German minister to freeze EU settlement ban

President Shimon Peres met with German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle. Peres mentioned the EU's new guidelines banning agreements with Israeli entities operating across the Green Line, and urged this decision frozen, arguing that it pertains to the border issue, which will be discussed in the course of ongoing peace talks.

Westerwelle replied that the EU's policy on collaborations with Israel has not changed. (Noam Dvir)
