Jerusalem: Britain and France are thinking over to take action, possibly including the unprecedented step of recalling their ambassadors from Israel, in response to Israel’s announcement of settlement expansion, a report said on Monday.

Israel continued with retaliatory measures against the Palestinian Authority (PA) following their successful bid at the United Nations to win a non-member state observer status, the Reuters quoted daily Heeratz.

A day after PA’s successful bid at the UN, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision on Friday to move ahead with plans for E1 and to build 3,000 housing units in East Jerusalem and West Bank settlements has apparently “shocked” the foreign ministries and the leaders in London and Paris.

According to the paper, Britain said on Monday it had summoned the Israeli ambassador in London to express its concerns over Israel’s plans to expand Jewish settlements.

French foreign minister Laurent Fabius summoned the Israeli ambassador to France, Yossi Gal, to express his unhappiness over the project.

French media reported that London and Paris were considering joint action which would send a “strong diplomatic signal”. However, Paris refused to confirm rumours that it was planning to pull out its ambassador.

“This time it won’t just be a condemnation, there will be real action taken against Israel,” a senior European diplomat told.

A final decision in the matter will be made today by the British and the French foreign ministers, report added.

Great catch OP.

Ty!

Sweet . More countries shod do as well .

Bluff, smoke and mirrors. Oh how convenient! Britian and France 'consider..'

Actions speak louder than words. This is just for public/sheeple consumption. Diverting from the problem, creating a distraction and debate about whether building or not is legal/moral.

Meanwhilst, the building starts..

Another miscalculation, another hosile act, another display of hubris, another glimpse beyond the veil, another move towards critical mass.

I fear for Isreal's future. Zbignew Brezinski is a prophet. Soon there will be a straw that breaks the camel's back and the law of unintended consequences kicks in ushering the end of a nation.

"A final decision in the matter will be made today by the British and the French foreign ministers, report added."

Don't hold your breath! I'm curious as to who will be outed for whatever as a warning prior to the decision being taken.

Watch for some political scandal to break in UK and France today.

you're getting bald op

big tawk

So, OP what do you think about this?
You cut and pasted two quotes but have not commented on your own. ;-`)

So...other than "I'm taking my ball and going home" version of Yank the ambassador, what does it solve?

Perhaps lines being drawn.
Canada's Gov't. recently recalled it's representation
from the UN after the UN Palestinian vote.

"May you live in interesting times."
A blessing or a curse, it is all about perspective. ;-`)

I know! Can hardly post at all glp is dragging ass slow tonight!!

Anyway....I have always supported Israel, but I think they are getting out of control......derails any type of peace process trying to be established.

U?

Israel says god promised them land...

But....

They don't acknowledge Palestinians can also say the same.

Yawn.

Talk about phony-indignation & crocodile tears.


A bunch of Quislings and Vichy who are

1) terrified of their Muslim population (French Muslims giving Hollande some 90% of their votes basically handed him the election over Sarcozy)

2) completely been bought & paid for by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE. France in particular is basically owned by Qatar.

3) afraid of more al-Qaeda attacks & more aggressive Taliban in Afganistan ahead of 2014 pull-out. Terrified of their own shadows, practically.


You know UK and France should have tought about that BEFORE they encouraged Abbas to abrogate the Oslo Accords by pulling that stunt at the UNGA last week. The very Oslo Accords that were explicitly GUARANTEED by the Europeans, Americans and the rest of the so-called 'Quartet'

Funny how that works - serious actions have CONSEQUENCES. Abbas has been dodging Netanyahu's offers to negotiate for 2 years now... and then he pulls that shit?

I'll tell you what, let's make a deal. Netanyahu is willing to put the announced new housing in Jerusalem on hold, if Abbas agrees to:

1. Re-constitute all those Jewish kids, women and elderly torn apart by suicide bombings over the years.

2. Un-fire literally 10,000 rockets at Israeli civilian populations.

3. Un-teach a whole new generation of Palestinian kids who've been taught that Jews have no history, are not real Jews, that they are pigs, rats & spawn of Satan who deserve extermination - or at least expulsion from ENTIRE Israel, not just disputed lands.

4. Withdraw his application for (non-member) statehood from last week.

5. Recognize Holocaust.

6. Re-imburst Israel for all the economic damage from 20 years of terror since Oslo Accords and for additional security costs incurred in prevention thereof.

7. Recognize previous legally-binding decisions by League of Nations (San Remo), the UNSC Resolution 242 -- from which the Oslo Accords frame-work is derived, of course.




Deal?

The area has always been a hornets nest.
I would be ignorant to profess i had wisdom one way or another.

While I acknowledge our current global society,
I am inclined to dismiss it and support local rule.

Zbigs Brezinski is a prophet in his OWN mind only!

Self-styled "Polish Royalty" Machiavellian wannabe!

At least Kissinger, as odious as he can be, has some MAJOR strategic accomplishments on his resume, too.

Whereas Brezinski-pants a loser who hitched his wagon to Jimmy Freakin' Carter. Bwaaa-ahahaah.

But hey, he can use words like "techno-tronic" which makes all the pretentious, conspiracist fan-boys cream their G-strings....

Seriously between that fugly FSB monkey Putin and Brezinski... people need to find them some NEW heroes, pronto. It's frankly embarassing.

As for Israel no longer existing.... that's what people said in 48, 67, 73, 91...

Careful there, might get that Samson Option up your ass, Zbigs.

Agreed complete hornets nest.

Israel is trying to do what the US did so long ago. It doesn't quite work in today's society....they are pissing off every country along the way....and where will that the leave the US??

This is great news. More evidence that the worm has turned for Israel. They can either grow up and live in peace, or end up being a pariah.

Unfortunately Ms. Merkel does not have the balls to do the same.

It's got my eyes open a bit more......

I suspect much is posturing,
a way for 'friends-of Israel' to step aside and politically remove themselves from any potential aggression.

I am not optimistic about the outcome.

As if your previous spewing didn't reveal enough, you really demonstrated why the world needs to contain this beast. No better than North Korea.

Yeah, no shit, OP. Nice catch!

Wow!

this is crazyy...does this mean israel will back off?
