Jackass Urges EU End Israel Sanctions
Bryan Bradley, Nicole Gaouette, Bloomberg, Sep 7 2013
Jackass Kerry is appealing to his EU counterparts to end their restrictions on funds for Israeli organizations in occupied territories beyond its 1967 borders, according to a State Dept official. Jackass is meeting today in Lithuania with EU foreign ministers. He’s arguing that because Israelis and Palestinians are in direct talks for the first time in three years, countries with an interest in peace should support rather than punish them, said the official.
