Peres Urges EU to Delay Settlement Funding Curbs
Local Editor
"Israeli" President Shimon Peres called on the EU on Thursday to delay adopting settlement funding curbs that will block all funding of "Israeli" settlements in the occupied West Bank including al-Quds.
"I appeal to our friends in Europe...do not lead a process of irresponsible sanctions which will torpedo diplomatic negotiations," Peres said.
The EU's office in "Israel" said on Thursday that Kerry, Peres and Netanyahu called European Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso on Wednesday night to discuss the guidelines.
It said in a statement that the EU is ready to negotiate with "Israel" regarding their planned entry into force from January 1 next year.
