Israeli Officials Dismiss Report by EU Consuls on Jerusalem
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - Israeli diplomatic officials dismissed a report by EU consuls to the PA calling for strengthened support for Palestinians in east Jerusalem. Both Israel and EU officials said Monday that the report on Israel's policies in east Jerusalem was issued annually, and contained very similar language to previous reports. One Israeli official said the document was routinely ignored in Brussels because it was seen as "wildly one-sided." He noted that AFP had reported on the document a month ago, and speculated that it was being "re-leaked" to take advantage of the controversy over the Shepherd Hotel demolition.
