“Israel” Accuses 4 Countries of Meddling in Its Affairs
Local Editor
In a highly unusual response to criticism from European nations on the Security Council, the "Israeli" Foreign Ministry bluntly accused the countries of "interfering with "Israel's" domestic affairs" and warned that they risked making themselves "irrelevant", said the New York Times on Thursday.
According to the report, the heated diplomatic exchange reflected growing tension and frustration over the impasse in the "Israeli"-Palestinian so-called peace process.
The Foreign Ministry's response came a day after a joint statement by Britain, France, Germany and Portugal, delivered at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
The Europeans pointed to repeated "Israeli" announcements of plans to accelerate construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem and to a recent spike in violence by radical "Israeli" settlers, including the burning of mosques.
International condemnation of the construction is not new, but "Israel" was upset by the unexpected severity of the rebuke.
