In a joint announcement Tuesday, the foreign ministers of France, Germany and Italy, the British foreign secretary and the U.S. secretary of state stated that they are “deeply troubled” by Israel’s decision to advance “nearly 10,000 settlement units” and its intention “to begin a process to normalize nine outposts that were previously deemed illegal under Israeli law.
“We strongly oppose these unilateral actions which will only serve to exacerbate tensions between Israelis and Palestinians and undermine efforts to achieve a negotiated two-state solution,” they added.
The statement closely mirrored one that the U.S. State Department put out independently yesterday. Foggy Bottom’s announcement claimed its position was in line with prior Democrat and Republican administrations that “strongly oppose such unilateral measures, which exacerbate tensions and undermine the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution.”
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on Israelis and Palestinians to avoid escalating tensions in the region and “to take practical steps that can improve the well-being of the Palestinian people.”
Neither the State Department nor the joint international statement commented on two attacks in Yerushalayim on Monday. An Israeli border policeman died after being stabbed by a terrorist and hit by friendly fire during the attack, and another terrorist stabbed and wounded an Israeli teen in the Old City. Neither mentioned that the Israeli Security Cabinet’s decision to legalize the communities came after a terrorist murdered three Israelis in Jerusalem, including children.
“We continue to closely monitor developments on the ground which impact the viability of the two-state solution and stability in the region at large,” the joint statement said. JNS
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on Israelis and Palestinians to avoid escalating tensions in the region and “to take practical steps that can improve the well-being of the Palestinian people.”
Hey there Mr. Blinken, trust me, the Israelis are taking better care of your Palestinian people than they are of the Israelis. They’re killing Jews indiscriminately and the Jews, when they need to, do whatever they can to avoid loss of human life! It’s quite one-sided. So shut-up and take care of the American people. Take care of crime in NY, Chicago, etc. As for the other countries who annihilated Jews, LOOK WHO’S SO CONCERNED LATELY!!!
Israel is deeply troubled that France, Germany, Italy, UK And US are not taking their Arab back to their countries. Arabs are guest in the Jewish country of Israel. If they can’t behave, they should be kicked out and there will finally be peace in region.
“Neither mentioned that the Israeli Security Cabinet’s decision to legalize the communities came after a terrorist murdered three Israelis in Jerusalem, including children.”
Outside of Zionist idolatry, one has zero to do with the other. Arab attacks on Israel are irrelevant to Israel’s violations of international law and its antagonizing the nations.
Israel isn’t responsible for the international community lack of true interest in the middle east. Israel, like America and the rest of the world body anti semites (you included though a self hating Jew) don’t respect the so called international law. Meaning, there is no such thing as international law. If you like, and I doubt any one in the world will stop you, go move in with your best friend Abbas. Or if you prefer Ahmejinidad. I’m sure as a member of the anti medina community they will supply you with all the most kosher products and minyanim etc.
France Germany and little Italy can all go to —-. No one asked them for their racist anti semitic opinions. Blinken is just a stupid puppet of rabid anti semites Susan Rice and Kristen Gillabrand, so he is a worthless spokes mouth.
Netanyahu should tell them all, He’s preparing Israel for all the jews that must leave all the above countries due to their countries danger to jews. He should tell them that the only way he can avoid running out of habitable space is if they get to work cleaning up antisemitism thereby allowing jews to stay in their perspective countries.
