EU condemns Bush over Israel stance By Judy Dempsey in Brussels and Heba Saleh in Cairo Published: April 15 2004 20:51 \| Last Updated: April 16 2004 0:42 news.ft.com European governments on Thursday condemned President George W. Bush's backing of Israel's plans to retain settlements in the occupied West Bank, saying it would weaken prospects for peace. Diplomats said the US stance would also damage transatlantic relations at a time when the US needs European support for stabilising Iraq. Relations are already strained by disputes over the role of the United Nations, trade and the environment. Javier Solana, the European Union's foreign policy chief, said Europe would not accept any change to the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war - in which Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip - unless it had been agreed by both Palestinians and Israelis. "The EU remains committed to a negotiated agreement resulting in two viable, sovereign and independent states as the only way to achieve a permanent peace and an end to the occupation that began in 1967," Mr Solana said. "Final status issues can only be resolved by mutual agreement between the parties." <more> MY COMMENT: Kerry is weak on this issue. He should have rejected the "Sharon Plan". Instead Kerry said: "I think that could be a positive step," the Massachusetts senator said, approving of the Bush-Sharon action regarding both refugees and Israel's borders. "What's important obviously is the security of the state of Israel, and that's what the prime minister and the president, I think, are trying to address." SOURCE: washingtonpost.com The EU's response was correct.
