When Europe Demanded Israel Surrender the Western Wall
(Times of Israel) Haviv Rettig Gur - The EU's new directive includes a requirement that all future agreements between Israel and the EU include a clause in which Israel accepts the EU position that all territory over the Green Line does not belong to Israel. One Israeli official noted that the new EU policy is in effect demanding that Israel deny - in writing - any rights to the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City, Judaism's holiest site. By conditioning further dealings with Israel on a government acknowledgement that all territory beyond the Green Line is not part of Israel, the EU may have issued a demand to which few mainstream Israeli leaders will acquiesce.
