Netanyahu Wants EU to Follow US Lead on Al-Quds!

Local Editor

It seems that Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was not sufficiently satisfied with US President Donald Trump's move on al-Quds that he said he expects the Europeans to follow suit.

Attending informal breakfast with EU foreign ministers in Brussels, Netanyahu said Trump's recognition of al-Quds as ‘Israel's' capital 'put facts squarely on the table,' claiming the move 'doesn't obviate peace, it makes peace possible.'

Visiting the European Union, Netanyahu praised Trump's move saying he expected Europeans to follow suit.

"It makes peace possible because recognizing reality is the substance of peace, the foundation of peace," Netanyahu told reporters as he was greeted by EU foreign policy Chief Federica Mogherini before a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels.

Netanyahu said Trump's move, condemned by the Palestinians and by European governments, should be emulated by them.

Netanyahu further stressed ‘Israel's' partnership with Europe.

He also highlighted ‘Israel's' economic contribution in new technologies. Mogherini, for her part, said the EU and ‘Israel' were "friends and partners."

Meanwhile, a demonstration condemning Netanyahu's visit is planned for later in the morning in Brussels.
