 | The EU is always getting in the way. |
ABU DHABI - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Monday that the European Union would do what it could to help support the negotiations between the rival Palestinian groups Hamas and Fatah. Merkel made the remarks in Abu Dhabi, where she had arrived earlier in the day as part of her tour of four Arab states. Germany currently holds the six-month rotating EU presidency.
‘We will do everything in our power to hlep make these talks be successful,’ Merkel said about the Hamas-Fatah negotiations which were set to start on Tuesday to try to end their conflict and seek ways to set up a national unity government.
| 'everything in our power'? Is that all? |
Merkel said she was grateful to Saudi Arabia for its efforts to bring the two parties to the negotiating table, and she said the EU was in close contact with the two parties. |
