France Seeking Harsh EU Response If ‘Israel’ Applies ’Sovereignty’ to West Bank Areas

By Staff, Agencies

France is seeking a harsh European Union [EU] response to any Zionist efforts to apply the so-called ‘Israeli’ sovereignty to West Bank areas, Reuters reported Monday, citing diplomatic sources.

According to the agency, France wants to bring the matter up during a meeting of the bloc's foreign ministers on Friday, calling on other member states to warn the ‘Israeli’ entity of the consequences of unilateral action.

Also seeking to put some sort of response on the event's agenda are Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg, three diplomats told the agency.

They did not specify what measures could be on the table, the report noted, and a nod from all 27 members would be required for any joint action to be taken.

Furthermore, even work laying out the foundations of any such endeavor could be blocked by EU states seen as following a more pro-‘Israeli’ policy.
