| (KUNA) — Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn called on Israel Monday to stop Jewish settlement activities in East Jerusalem. When Luxembourg speaks the mighty tremble... Fear our wrath!!! He told journalists that today's meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels will focus on the last proposition by the Americans on the Middle East Peace Process. "This proposition is not yet written but I hope that the government in Jerusalem will have the feeling and also respect to do what the international community and not only what the Americans have asked and recognize the borders of 67 and stop settlements in eastern part of Jerusalem," said Asselborn as he arrived for the one-day formal meeting. On Iran, he said "they feel now the tensions not only from Europe but from other countries in the world." He noted that Russian President Dmitry Medvedev sent "a very strong" message from Lisbon during the weekend. Medvedev told a presser after a sumit meeting with NATO in the Portuguese capital on Saturday that Iran must prove to the world that its nuclear drive was entirely peaceful. "So I hope in December negotiations will take place, negotiations based on two thing, first Iran has the right for nuclear energy on civilian level but also must cooperate with the international community and this international community is the IAEA in Vienna," he added. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... EU High Representative Catherine Ashton and EU foreign ministers will have a broad discussion on the Middle East over lunch today, focusing in particular on the efforts to encourage Israel and the Paleostinians to restart direct talks and on the situation in Gazoo. They will also discuss recent developments in Leb, Iraq, the Iranian nuclear issue and situation in Sudan . The ministers will discuss the preparations for the forthcoming EU summits with Africa, Russia and India. |
