WASHINGTON - The European Union reissued calls for the unconditional cessation of violence and terror by Palestinian groups against Israel , German Ambassador to the United Nations Thomas Matussek said Tuesday in a speech to the Security Council.




The EU condemned the terror attack in Eilat and urged the Palestinian leadership to do everything to stop terrorism and bring those responsible for terror attacks to justice.

At the Security Council�s monthly conference on the situation in the Middle East and �the Palestinian question�, the German ambassador said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was the greatest threat to the Mideast, and possibly the entire world.

Speaking on behalf of the EU, Matussek said the Europeans were determined to be involved in the peace process. He called on Israel to immediately transfer withheld tax monies to the Palestinian Authority and boost the Palestinian economy by opening border crossings.


[I think that Abbas has been trying hard. It is not easy making peace with both Hamas and Israel. I don't envy him and Hamas at least
on the surface made some kind of compromise. I think more should be expected later, but there should be some reciprocation for the sake of peace.]
