EU vows to speed Palestinian aid |
2006-05-16 |
The European Union vowed on Monday to get a new aid mechanism for the Palestinians in place as soon as possible, but said Israeli support was crucial and it appeared the United States would not take part. EU External Affairs Commssioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said she hoped the mechanism, proposed last week by the quartet of Middle East peace negotiators to aid Palestinians but bypass the Hamas-led government, could be put in place by June. |

#1 but said Israeli support was crucial and it appeared the United States would not take part. Now I'm confused. Is this merely EU posturing in order to suck up to the Muslims and raise my blood pressure? |
